alera Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thing is there have been little reduction in prices from when oil was at $135 a barrel a couple of months ago. Its so volatile at the moment with europe and the us going into recession for at least a year or so the rises will be sort lived I believe..

Nonsense. Gordon and Alistair keep telling me that we are better placed than the rest of the world to face the troubles ahead. Oh for a look through their rose tinted spectacles.
