Here's a thought. Why put up petrol prices when you are closing post offices, therefore forcing us to drive further, therefore having to buy more expensive petrol, therefore inflicting more damage on the environment?

I appreciate it's a reaction to the current financial climate but can't someone just give us some slack or at least create a balance somewhere along the line?

I watched an old episode of 'I'm Alan Partridge' the other night and there was a scene in a petrol station, where unleaded petrol was 76p. Aah the good old days, when comedians were funny, British sitcoms were clever and even the cost of running a car was laughable.
