Petrol Prices

Petrol prices are on the drop again, thanks to a decrease in oil prices. The lowest I've found is 111.9p at Trago's in Newton Abbot - as my friend said to me, ya can't beat Trago.

Blog: Things that Pop into my Head

A government review has recommended a crackdown on email, junk mail and cold callers. Will it make any difference?

Dirty Spammers

SPAM. We can't get away from it, our Inbox, our mail and even on the phone! About half my mail goes straight into the recycle bin and I get the occassional cold call even though I'm suposed to be on the 'no cold calling' list.

Gordon Brown To The Rescue

Gordon Brown comissioned this review about a year ago which now recommends making it easier for members of the public to keep track of who has got their personal information and also banning Town Halls from selling edited versions of the electoral role. Hefty fines are recommended for those which break the rules.

Will It Work?

Personally I doubt it, but marks for trying (3/100)!
