Petrol Prices
I was more than interested in the Governments announcement regarding a 5p per litre reduction of petrol for people in RURAL places.
Irrespective of the fact that it will not come into force for maybe a number of years due to the fact that it has to authorised by the EU.(A joke in itself)
They say that the post code will play a significant ipart n the location of what will be RURAL.
Powys was mentioned that it would possibly qualify.
We will have to wait and see what happens.
I live in a beautiful small village which in the heart of the north/mid Wales, of Powys. The nearest petrol station to my home is 15 miles away so one would think that my area qualifies. However my post code is SY10 0PA which is Oswestry, England.
Lets see what happens

If our Government thought about the people it would reduce some of it's petrol tax and done with it.

Hi John Albert, you should not put your Post Code on line, it tells what your street name is, just number of the house is missing , then they have your name so they have your house Number. You say when you are going on vacation and then the burglars are in. simple.
Cheers
