I live in a small town, so fortunately it is convenient to walk to most of the places I need to go. When it's a bit further distance I ride my mountain bike. > .

Let's see...diesel now costs somewhere around £1.25 ($2.50) a litre. Unleaded gas is about £1.20 a litre. Of course, more good news comes every day.

I find that particularly galling as British Gas had a *net* profit of £576 million pounds last year. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
