Posted by Beacon_Girl from Swindon on the 12th March 2008
Are you all looking forward to the Budget later today. :-(
What increased wealth do we all have to look forward to ????? In my dreams :-((
No doubt he will give the impression we will be better off ,but once you work out the whole deal we will be worse of yet again.
We shall see ,hope I am proved wrong.

They have done it again B G hit the working class, put the price of beer up 4p a pint, 3p on cider. 11p on cigarettes, petrol will go up 2p a litre. and once they touch petrol everything goes up.
They say 4p a pint on beer, everything goes by road, Hops sugar etc to make beer, cider, the delivery on top, by the time you buy it it will probably be 30 to 40p a pint.
Well it seems I will be no worse off and no better off when you take it all into consideration .
When petrol goes up in October I'm sure I will be worse off as every thing we buy is transported to the shops and they will put their prices up to cover the extra delivery charges.
The every day working class people will never win.
Here is a link to a page where you can calculate whether you will be worse off or better off.
