I won't be doing 400-500 miles a week any more... and if it hits £1.50 I'm going to chuck in the business, walk into the dole office and tell them to sort me out with benefits! They obviously don't want me working for a living!

Thats the catch 22 ain't it work (and be raped at the pump) or sign on.

My advice to anyone in this situation DON'T SIGN ON, they will bend you over (K*nt and the Gang comes to mind, PM me if you don't know the song I'm on).


Cheers YC my SV probs does more, as i do around 140 miles to the light
