Interesting to see Teribus' on one hand tell us the difference between the greater rip-off of whisky as opposed to petrol, and proceed then to tell us that the (UK) Government taxes whisky at 20% less.

As a connoisseur of the golden drop (though I say so myself), I do despair of the prices sometimes, but I know that it is not produced by the millions of barrels per day, and as such there is less of it to tax.

I agree with GUEST 25 Mar 04 - 06:20 AM that both are rip-offs, but technically speaking, petrol is the greater one.
