what do you think about what we have to pay for gas compared to other countries

I bet its lower in other countries than in the Uk!

Isn't everything?

holland 40p per unit germany 60p per unit (or vica versa )
good old england 106 p per unit

UK gas prices will always be the highest as it's mostly tax to pay for the NHS and all the other freebies in the UK.

And which freebies are these? Also other countries dont have a NI contrabution do they which is supposed to pay for the NHS.

I shall have to find out what Canada use for theirs as they have a health service that is paid for, or so I am informed by someone trying to get me to visit ;)

I've decided not to go, but to send my daughter. Actually - she wants to go so who am I to stop her. I digress.

Its free to ... er ... nope - can't even spend a penny without spending at least 20p

It's actually worse than that 50p in Holland, 40p in Germany and a whopping 165p in the UK per unit.

The Dutch and Germans have healthcare and pensions every bit as good, if not better than ours, so where is the money going? A very good question. :rant:

So where is the money going?

I thank you. :mad:

Here in North America, we're still complaining about the prices. In Canada, it's currently around 90c (45p or so) per litre. In the US it's currently around $2 (a pound or so) per GALLON.

As cheap as bottled water.
