Its time to get the tax disc for the old skoda again.
Cars over a certain age need to be Ministry Of Transport tested - and the car is then made officially road legal. Over the years the testers always seem to find a fault / faults and need to do work for the MOT. This work often means the hassel of leaving your car at the garage for a day or to and you have to get back home some how plus the extra expense.
Yesterday's MOT, I am happy to report went smoothly, costing a mere £50. All I have to do now is get the disc from a post office and the car is ready for another years driving.
The price of petrol yesterday was £47 for my tank or a price of £1.14 per litre that a tad short of £5 per gallon.

This could be one solution to the petrol problem :
The price has gone up rapidly, I expect throughout the world, and it means more people will be using public transport this year as a result. 2007 saw the UK rail passengers rise to an all time high beating the post war highs for the first time.
I work in Reading about 33miles away from Weybridge and it is becomming very attractive to go by train - it is actually cheaper than the petrol I use!
