They will probably charge us for breathing. That’s a lot of tax to find somewhere else, agreed.

I personally believe pay per mile will come in, once fuel duties drop through the floor on future. Due to the majority driving 'green' vehicles.They will probably charge us for breathing. That’s a lot of tax to find somewhere else, agreed.
I got walkers ready salted as a substitute for my salt and shake crisps - was guttedI think there genuinely may be a crisp shortage. We've had problems getting certain crisps, mainly Walkers Ready Salted, from Asda for weeks now. Haven't managed to find them elsewhere either.
Gosh yes, pay per mile would be the logical alternative it seems. I also think energy bills will go up and stay up rather than gradually come down, because eventually people will be using more electricity for charging the cars.I personally believe pay per mile will come in, once fuel duties drop through the floor on future.

As they can't tax green vehicles in the same way as traditional petrol cars (via fuel duties), they will have to look to other methods to make up the shortfall in tax.
I would rather the Government finds ways to save money in areas where it isn't needed - such as the cost of running Government, the numerous Quangos, etc, etc before finding more ways to tax us ever more money.
Too much of OUR money is wasted every year, yet we are just expected to stomach increased taxes to pay for this waste. Not on!
Yes sorry, you're quite right, I meant a supply issue rather than a shortage of actual crisps.I'm not sure about a shortage, but the supply definitely seems quite patchy.
On the other hand this means there are warehouses stuffed full of all manner of undistributed crisps, not just the well known ones but a multitude of rare and exotic types too, ready for the picking!
All we need now is fuel for the unmarked hgv. And someone to drive it.
I always knew I ate a lot of crisps, but I didn't realise I was eating that manyWhy is the uk having a shortage of crisps???
I think that if they introduced pay per mile round my way it would be the thing that would trigger a revolution, given the number of overrunning roadworks and the stupid diversions we currently have in place. Not far from me, there’s a main a road that was supposed to only be shut for a couple of months for widening. Eighteen months later, it’s many, many millions of pounds over budget and there’s still no sign of it finishing and the road reopening …Gosh yes, pay per mile would be the logical alternative it seems.

The increase in petrol has been caused in part by panic buying. If people are rushing out and causing a shortage of something that was highly price volatile to begin with, the price will go up.Petrol is getting more expensive everywhere. Don't think the increase is caused by the panic buying. Didn't have this phenomena where I live in Europe yet we have similar increases for fuel. Thanks god I don't have a car but I know soon everything will be more expensive in shops. Generally speaking we don't have much shortages in European countries - apart from things that are on high demand worldwide - but it didn't impact any of my needs those last months. But inflation is also hitting hard.
It's nothing to do with panicThe increase in petrol has been caused in part by panic buying. If people are rushing out and causing a shortage of something that was highly price volatile to begin with, the price will go up.
It is simple a case of supply and demand - if demand outstrips supply, prices head further upwards.
Netflix paid tax of £4 million on sales of 15 billion in the UK.They will probably charge us for breathing. That’s a lot of tax to find somewhere else, agreed.
Very odd. Do people think there's going to be no food at Christmas?Definitely a crisps shortage near me. Been looking for a multipack of chilli heatwave Doritos all week (my son’s fave) and haven’t been able to get them anywhere. A man in my local Asda told me it’s caused by people stock piling for Christmas. He said within minutes of then putting crisps out, they have been stripped from the shelves.

I was at the hair salon for the first time in months today and it was so expensive! $300 for cut and colour. My girl is amazing though so it's worth the once a year appointment.
Netflix are not only creative with their TV series but also with their accounting practices too.For the first time I really saw huge gaps in my local sainsbury's.
