Well this week we saw the fuel prices reach record levels, so running the car to get to work is getting increasingly expensive, it is nearly £1.30 a litre. someone has worked out that the unit coast of the petrol is about 40p, the rest is made up in taxes and money for the fuel companies. So what next, well it is going to cause big problems for transport companies, delivering alsorts, so as a result prices for other items will go up. My personal opinion is that this once great country of ours is financially on its knees. The trouble is with all the cut backs more are going to become jobs, thereby saturating the benefit systems, making the cutbacks counter productive.
Is there a solution to the problem? I dont know, we have practically given away all of our industry to overseas country's, so greedy companies could save on the costs. Hong kong was given over to the Chinese, after we fully developed it. So the cutbacks are across the board, but the ones who seem exempt are the corporate bankers.
Now I wonder if the fact that half of these bankers possibly shared the same public school dormatory has something to do with it? I have my ideas about but I will let you guess.
Now working in the bus and coach industry and also being a bus enthusiast sometimes presents a problem, bus overload, and yes I have times when I get home and I want to switch off. So thank goodness for the likes of you tube, and facebook, infact I like writing these blogs and find them relaxing to write, I make no apologies for my views, after they are mine and no one elses.
I must admit I do like my music, but it really has to be stuff from my life time, ie post 1977, but I do listening to stuff from other genres and eras. I'm not really in to chart stuff, I like to leave that for the teenagers, the times I took an interest in the charts past a while ago. I like to listen to stuff from my past or obscure stuff, usually found on albums done by indie bands, but I will listen to anything once.
Right, I am going to go and enjoy you tube now. TTFN
