Do you live in a poor area?

ones by me dropped it by 1p.
Shell is actually cheaper. Super unleaded is 2p more than regular unleaded being sold at others.

Ditto.

I drive down what can only be described as a bombed runway.

After that rotten winter I should imagine that there are a fair few roads in a pretty poor state so I doubt that it will go as far as is needed.

Baccy up again of course... and hand rolling baccy taking a bigger hammering..

Re: Budget 2011: Government 'due £8bn windfall'
 

Ridiculous. that'll put the price up by around £1.30 on a 50g pack. making it around £14 a pkt.

Plenty more people will turn criminal and buy the 'illegal' stuff now. if you gotta smoke and you can't afford it. go to the dark side.

Re: Budget 2011: Government 'due £8bn windfall'
 

Nobody's 'gotta' smoke, though. Try quitting, you'll feel loads better, you'll be better off, your clothes won't stink ... Everyone's a winner. ;)

Including me who sells the stuff.

The meagre profit hardly covers the increased insurance costs.

We need to keep smoking and smelling bad to save you money and get the country back on its feet!

but will you let us do all that for you in peace, no! :)

What insurance?
actually how much profit does a shop make from 25g/50g pack?

Believe it or not, the thought of you going to an early, nicotine-stained grave just to pay my child allowance doesn't fill me with joy ...

Thanks Chris.

the streets are awash with black market baccy -and cigs - i blame taxes .

Re: Budget 2011: Government 'due £8bn windfall'
 

That's the real reason why they've put it up so much. they're peed that we're buying it cheaper on the streets. but I'm glad that the governments easing the burden and saving us around 50p per tankfull of petrol. that goes a long way to paying the bills does that 50p.

Liby's costing millions of pounds a day. smoke more!

and don't forget if you quit smoking you'll live longer and be able to work longer and pay more taxes ,so you see taxes are good for you

on a side note i will be better off than you cos my car holds 60 ltrs so i save 60 p every time you save 50 .

Re: Budget 2011: Government 'due £8bn windfall'

I was working on averages. mine holds 88 litres :)
