On the topic of petrol and prices, I thought I would mention (as I consider it a significant and sickening moment) that I paid for petrol yesterday that was double the price petrol was when I first learnt to drive...
...only 8 years ago.
(of course when I mentioned this to my parents (both in their 60s) this sparked a discussion of how cheap it was when they began learning to drive, but my point is that 8 years is not that long an amount of time, especially for something (with the exception of houses - but don't let me get started on that) to double in price!)
