So not only have we been hit with massive gas price hikes and electricity rises and we all wait to see how much our council tax will go up. Mr Brown decides it is time we paid more for our holidays and petrol We do we bother? You work your arse off and evertime you think you are getting in front the bloody #****##* take it away.
