    Oh my....and no other government ever increased fuel duty. :rolleyes:

    Certainly before 2010 the price of fuel was escalating rapidly. The 2011 budget reduced the duty by 1p and also removed the planned 1p rise.

    Not surprising really, seeing as the increase in corporation tax and VAT receipts increased by more than 1p per litre sold.

    Ferrari's figures up by 30,000 - the Call Clegg effect? He's certainly raised the show's profile in the media. Boris is on the show later this hour with an announcement concerning him and Ferrari. I fear we might be getting a weekly Buzz Boris.

    Morning all. :)

    Thank God - it's just a one-off. Don't know why they're making a big thing out of it. :confused:

    And the previous quarter for anoraks who want to make comparisons:

    Duncan and Cristo are storming away with the overnights and The Max is pulling them in at weekends! :p We must hope Steve's listeners are relying on podcasts because they don't seem to be listening live.

    I'm hoping that will only apply to the owner and not to the visitors. :o
