I agree @kezo Sadly we are too small to be an outlier and this government says that they want to get us closer and closer to the EU, so it makes no sense whatsoever for us to be completely out of line.
Have those oil prices dropped? I haven’t really been studying them, but I thought that Brent Crude was up to around $120 a barrel.
I was trying to get my head around why petrol prices haven’t gone up by a lot more than they have, but the penny has just dropped. The actual cost of the fuel is less than half of what we pay at the pumps, the balance being government taxes, VAT etc. 🙄
