no, 39. Ever heard of the North Sea? Brent crude? What’s that – chopped liver????
Your prices are high because you socialists decided to create a disincentive to buy petrol. It ain’t for the purpose of taxation (though that’s where the money goes). It’s because they want you to use less (read, none) petrol. But WE live in a free country. Blimey.
You can always move here (there seems to be a high demand for Britishers in jobs where that cuuute accent can be heard – e.g. secretary, newscaster, etc). But you’d have to leave your NHS behind. So sorry.
