So many companies are now offering telecommuting and if gas goes much higher I think I'll ask my boss if I can too!  The business that I'm in sells Polycom and Tandberg video conferencing systems and we are certainly seeing an upswing in sales lately.  Just shows you that companies (even the Fortune 500 ones) can't spend the money to send their people on business trips.  I know that our company now requires that any airline miles are now the property of the company and not the individual.

Everything gets more expensive, however our wages stay the same ...... Some of the better employers make sure that there employees have gas money to come to work, but most don't care ..... and wonder why they can't get any good workers. Our politicans don't make it any better for us... just making sure there pockets are lined and we getting taxes to death .....

BUT THAT'S NOTHING!!!  Think about it- we are paying $12 a gallon. My Peugeot  306 TD does 60 to the gallon. London and back costs at least $50 then. It's 120 miles. OK and I break the law, up to 90- 95 mph and it drinks a bit more, but so do many others. 100 mph and over gets you a 6 month automatic ban, and you probably collect a $4000 fine too. 12 penalty points gets you a 6 month automatic ban unles you can prove the ban would cause hardship. The beak decides.  A speed cam offence gets you 3 penalty points and a $120 fixed penalty fine. If you are way over on the speed cam you'll get a visit from a policeman and he won't be nice to you.  One guy hired a car to go to Scotland from London.He started witha clean licence and by the time he arrived he was banned from driving!

I just paid $2.79 for a half gallon of 2% milk yesterday.  Cauliflower is $3.90 a head.  I got 80 Typhoo teabags at the English store last week - $9.  Large can of baked beans (American version) is $2.  A head of iceberg lettuce was $2.50 and looked horrible so I didn't get it.
The rise in gas prices has incrementaly affected everything we consumers purchase and there seems to be no end in sight...
