You go home for a visit and have problems:
1. getting a drink in a pub/bar (no waiter service)
2. getting petrol (no little man to fill your car up)
3. at the supermarket as your shopping is stacking up in mountains at the other end of the conveyor belt (no little man to bag your shopping and take it to the car)
sharfraz

whereas, US its still cheaper than here....
:?

Don't be ridiculous, petrol in the UK will always be the most expensive in the known universe, 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% is tax
