    I put £115 diesel in my van yesterday. The most I've ever put in any van or car in my short life.
    Beer might be going up 40p a unit?
    Cigs are going up loads , I dont smoke but still a rip off.
    Liverpool tunnel is going up soon from £1.50
    I'm working tomorrow :(

    The thing is aswell is you can't put your prices up because the shops you work for have to carry it to the customer and they have to make there slice too so it makes you an exspencive fitter. Bummer :roll:
