400grams for 1.85? I doubt it. even 40g must be poor quality stuff, I know teh price is moderated in Spain and in Madrid last week it was ~4 euros for 50g of golden V

yeh ian but 4 euros is only around £3, its a tenner here, and wine you can pay 3 euros max for is around £5/6 in our supermarkets.

No argument cashy but he is quoting far below th eprices I said. 1.85 euros is what £1.50 for 40g? as for wine, 60p/litre is cheaper than teh vinegar for his chips.

I agree that its crazy the prices over here but they aren't what he claimed.

So in other words Labour go crap so you find a way of tying the conservatives into the equation.

There is only so much you can do to help some people, so even though I don't support them I think Labour deserve a break. So just stop voting for them. Pure and simple.

Nobody can deny that David Cameron was tremendous for his part. I loved his quip at the minister for children too Got to love him.

I have got to pick up on that one:
Domingo tobaco is what I buy here for (are you taking note?)
1.85 Euros for 40g....my keyboard went mad at the 400 claim.
GV is 4.30 Euros for 50g.....wine of the superior variety (Rioja) is between 2.05 Euros and 4.95 for Reserva.....You can buy wine in the local bodagas at 95C a litre......drinkable but strong.
I pay 10.95 Euros for a litre of Captain Morgan Rum.
I pay 4.95 Euros for 4 X 2 Litres of diet coke.
Petrol is 1.14 Euros a litre.
The conversion rate for the euro against the pound is 1.26 and falling.
The temperature here today was 23 degrees.....bit chiily in the slight wind but!!!!!
Go for it Entwisi - Plain English please

[Benipete]

I may be wrong but I think the price of petrol includes the road tax.Rum sounds pricey.

This is not what the Conservatives are about. I've met a lot of parliamentary candidates, and they don't take this view, the vast majority are there to help people less fortunate than themselves.

I'm certainly not in Politics to conserve for myself, I am getting involved because everyone should have the chances in life I have had so far, I am there because pragmatic common sense approaches to policy are a good way to make policy, not looking at a book of ideology. I am there because I believe we have the right to liberty, this should be respected by the state, for it exists because of us and not the other way around.

It annoys me when the Conservatives get mis-represented in this way. If they were the party of aristocrats 200 years ago then so what? because today is today, Conservative is only a party name, what matters is what the candidates believe, whether the policies are good and whether they can make a real difference to the lives of the electorate.

I honestly think the people I have spoken to are good people, I honestly believe they mean what they say, they're genuine and really do care about fixing the way certain segments of society are heading.
