The Welsh Assembly has decided that £7m will be sufficient, hence, the sheep farming community in Wales is upset.
I understand the money from Westminter for English sheep farmers is more realistic.

I wouldn't moan about the cost of fuel if I was paying something on par with the rest of the world but I am not.
The motorist is shafted in this country, not just fuel but everything related to the car, it will be like it was in the 1920's before long, only the rich will be able to afford to own a car and drive it
Thrasher:
Cost of living is different. You can't just compare fuel costs and say "it's cheaper there". Wages, cost of living, house prices, taxes etc all play a part. We can wade in and take advantage of their "cheap" fuel, but to the people on the continent their fuel is also *expensive*.
It's a really difficult thing to normalise at the moment.
We had a guy over from SA - everything here was very expensive to him. When I go to SA everything seems cheap. However - we can both afford to live in our *own* countries.
See what I am getting at?
If you want fuel the same price all over the continent, then we'll REALLY have to join the EU, and take wage cuts .... scary thought!
Oh by the way ... I'm just adding all this stuff for discussion!
