With Christmas fast approaching, many people that may have considered going away in previous years may be a little reluctant to do so this Christmas as a result of the Credit Crunch. However, some may have switched to a self drive holiday instead of flying or taking a package holiday. If you are one of [...]

We’ve all seen or heard the debate about petrol prices in recent weeks. All British motorists know that they are paying too much for their petrol as a result of global oil prices rising apparently. Although that is part of it, what Gordon Brown won’t tell you is that 60 pence of every litre is [...]

I don’t know about you but I am absolutely dreading watching the news from day to day at the moment. It all seems like doom and gloom with financial markets going under and banks closing or merging. As such, we are all intent on simply surviving and not thinking at all about how we are [...]
