Have high gas prices affected your participation in the hobby?

It would be nice to think that our high taxes in the UK on petrol would help fund the public transport, unfortunately not. Governments over the years have sold everything off - supposedly to keep taxes down! - and now everything is in private hands and profit based. It took several rail accidents and many deaths to force them to put the rail track system back into the public (semi) domain after years of neglect. I don't know about our wages being any better, the national minimum wage is £5 per hour but our cost of living is way over the rest of Europe on everything from food to new cars. House prices here are very high, we bought late in life on a short mortgage and we pay £850 per month. How do I afford this RR?? <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
