Let hope they stay down !!!!!

The Rt Hon George Osborne MP – The Chancellor – is planning a New Year’s gift to each and every one of us!

Before you reach for a drink to toast his health…… you should think again.

He plans a Petrol and Diesel duty to rise by 3p per litre in January 2013 – THAT’S 16p per Gallon

In a few days’ time in his autumn statement he will lay out his plan. The RAC and FairFuelUk have been lobbying for many months to get this rise scrapped. More details can be found here.

Both organisations met a group of influential MPs only last week and they believe that the results of such a poll could be critical in the run up to the Autumn Statement, even at this late stage.

Please help them by completing this short survey here.

Remember if fuel goes up – everything from bread and milk to public transport will rise.

BAA has advised passengers flying from Heathrow to allow extra time when checking in.

There are extra security measures and bag searched in place that will increase the time it takes to get from Check –in to the departures lounge.

The advised times are as follows

“You are advised to check in as early as possible. As a general guide, you should aim to arrive:

• Long-haul and El Al: three hours before scheduled departure
• European flights: two hours before scheduled departure
• UK and Ireland flights: 90 minutes before scheduled departure*

* please note, due to the recent change in security, passengers may wish to allow an additional 30 minutes for domestic flights.”
