Just spent 2 years in Canada, came back to the UK in January and was amazed at how expensive a lot of basic things are now: petrol, bread, milk, booze, chocolate (my weak point), trains fares, utility bills etc etc. What the hell happend over here in the last 20 months, and yet I was amazed to find the official rate of inflation is a ridiculously low 2.2%!!!!! Still can't get my head round the price of fuel at the petrol station. Last time I used one petrol was around 72p per litre, but now its 107p!!! No wonder the economy is heading for a crash when people have less money to spend because of all these increases and taxes in place: rant over

The cost of living has always been cheaper in Canada - even when I lived there 20-odd years ago everything was cheaper and the standard of living was better.

Premiership footballers - bunch of overpaid, childish brats who feign injury, dive to get a penalty (cheating for short), abuse & intimidate match officials; and can hardly string two cohesive sentences together without resorting to cliche>

I guess this has been superseded now by 'Rant and Rave' in chill out Is that where we shout about something and then dance whilst taking illegal drugs in a disused warehouse?
