[wdvltalk-social] A riddle

[joseph harris]

And on our petrol/diesel/green-stuff VAT is only part of the mix. 
Around 80% [maybe more now] goes to Gordon and his treasury 
puppet, Alastair Darling - Yes our Chancellor of the Exchequer 
really is a Darling.

Which reminds me of a travel tip: countries that have
a VAT or GST regime often allow refunds of that tax
on purchases made by tourists, it always pays to
check...................they don't go out of their way
to tell people.......</g>

Part of it is tax, a big part of it. My brother turned in his tax 
receipts
on departure from the UK and received 40% of what he paid for 
petrol as a
tax refund and not all taxes are refunded.

It certainly is bad in many ways but what I don't understand is 
why the
price of petrol has risen to over £1.00 per litre in England? 
Barrels of oil

are quoted in dollars so why hasn't the price beeen offset by the 
weak
dollar?
