Here’s a conversation between two friends in a pub:
A
Have you heard the news? They’re putting fuel prices up again!
B
No! Really?
A
Yes, the government’s putting another 2p tax on a litre of petrol.
B
I don’t believe it! In my opinion, no one will be able to afford to drive
soon.
A
You say that, but maybe it would be good if people drove less.
B
That’s a fair point, but from past experience whenever prices go up nobody
drives any less.
A
True, but it costs me £60 to fill my tank now! So, I certainly won’t be
driving so much.
B
No, I can’t agree with that. I think that you’ll be driving just as much
after the rise.
A
I won’t! I’ve decided. I’m going to walk to work.
B
What!? You’re walking to work!?
A
Yes, of course! It will save money and help get me fit.
B
Yes, agreed. We all need to lose a few kilos. By the way, it’s your round.
Mine’s a pint!
