The Budget
Coverage has just started of Gordon Browns final budget. Here you can post your thoughts on it also what you would like to see.

I prefer it if there was not a lot put on beer because that causes me a shed load of grief at work. lol.

Re: The Budget
I think raising fuel duty again is madness, especially when it's at the price it is now!
