Its all about supply and demand with the supply going down the price is going up. People are screaming at the government to sort it out but becasue its a free market all they can do is lower the tax on fuel, which they will not do as they just wave there fingures at the fuel suppliers and the general public buy it! I do not know where it will go and how much it will go upto but in the short time I have owned my car a 1.0 saxo i was putting in £25 a week now its up to £37 a week in a year! Another point is becasue of the failiue of bio fuels all the farms that grew corn switched to produce bio fuel which means corn prices have rocketed making food go through the roof not only for corn products but for pork and many other meat groups! I suppose we must all buckle down and hold on for a rough ride. Speaking of rough rides would you be interested in a trip to oakwood again this summer. It would be great to catch up. Speak soon Andy Hello Tom

(inset typical orchestral british music) Bring back the days of 56k modems where web sites took 4 hours to load full of clip art and backgrounds that you could not read the text, white text on white backgrounds so the technique of text highlighting was a must.

Big brother is watching everything you do. Like all marketing schemes it will begin with them saying its for your protection against internet fraud or protecting your family from viewing damaging sites. When the real process is being used to monitor your e-mails, internet viewing contacting organisations who target you and in the end you get letters though your door saying you signed up for a 30 day trial of this software if you continue to use this software after this date we will inform the authorities and have you taken away for water boarding. By the way we want you to vote for labour we noticed you taking interest in conservative web sites recently would you ring this number so we can talk you into voting for labour as it will aid our business in the long run. I know extreme circumstance I am fed up of being told I live in a free society where my word is heard when the reality is we are all sheep being monitored and watched 24 7 in case we drop a bit of lint out of our pocket and quickly fined. Infact heres one for all you monitors now how to set off UK and USA alarms. Bomb, Terrorist, George Bush. Radioactive Sheep.

Once they've got the data, what's to stop them looking for more ways to make money from it?

Campaigners and local authority members alike have stated the it should be rebuilt, so maybe there is still a sliver of hope.

After arranging appointments and re-arranging work schedules, the representative from this company did not show at the agreed date and time to carry out a survey for a quote on some that needs to be carried out on my property. It was an evening appointment (7pm) and after waiting for 1 and a half hours my wife and I gave up. The representative did not even call to say that they would be either delayed or not able to turn up. It looks like Dunraven Windows have not done themselves any favours here.
