rjw63 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Mine and the wife's car insurance has gone up around £60, consisering we have no offences, both over 60 and live in a good postcode, it's **** disgraceful. I can guarantee something else as well - petrol/diesel prices will NEVER come down, just like they didn't when the first Gulf War sent it over £1 a litre for the first time. Gas and electric likewise, will never come down to previous levels. They take us for words removed and we put up with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just filled up 157.9 at Morrisons. Not even shocked anymore. Supermarkets often more expensive than independents now. The other good news is that energy bills are predicted to increase in January.

What's that as a percentage? I'm not due to renew just yet, but my office has gone up, £300, more than doubled. Like you, no reports, no changes in circumstances..

Shenghen zone is passport free travel, just being in the EU allows free movement of travel and labour. So having the passport is what matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our laws make all the corruption legal. This is what happens when you don't have a proper revolution for 1000 years. There has been no reset for the common people.

Beat the French again Kinda like an opinion poll. it's measuring what organisations perceive corruption in the public sector to be. Corporate corruption / private sector corruption doesn't even get considered. The creator of it no longer works for the organisation responsible for it citing the way it was used to corrupt peoples perceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
