Very funny BUT this is NOT the reson we pay so much for Petrol - rather it's to fund Tony Blair and 2 jags Prescott.

Even if the oil companies became charities and gave away petrol FREE it would still cost us about 69p per litre TAX!!!

I do not mind paying 30p per litre for petrol - after all the likes of BP have to find it - refine it - distribute it AND pay taxes. I DO object to paying 69p per litre TAX though!!!

Ive ski'd that slope a few times this year, its bloody freezing in there, then when you have finished you put on your shorts and head out into 50deg heat!!!!

There is a much larger Ski Dome currently under construction out here that will be open in 2008.

However, the ski slope is not the reason petrol is so high, i can vouch for that cos it only costs us 12 quid a time to fill up the Mustang GT in Dubai.

The guys out here are soley responsible for using up the worlds oil resources.
