Oh dear, I did without a car for a short time but its hard......I do want to get something cheaper to run though, lowest tax and insurance and of course economy, fingers crossed that you are not correct but I suspect you are 

[Clarebelle]

[lachlanandmarcus]

[Berkshire Boy]

He's very poorly now.

[Hassle]

So poorly they are burying him

[tizaala]

Don't blame Opec , it's our bloody greedy tax man .....may his parents get married soon 

[Alistair]

Was he a good man or a bad man?, I know he didn't like the USA but can't really think of anything else.

Anyway I really can't be arsed to develop my own opinion so I'd be grateful if someone could tell me what to think, it's so much easier that way....

[RUSTYME]

Yes it was cancer .
However , he was a 'dead man walking' as soon as he called George W Bush a 'donkey' , over the usa's illegal invasion of yet another country , Iraq .

[happygolucky]

OK, better look for a cheaper car to run then

he was probly a bad man but did some real good stuff for the poor of venezuala.
hell, i respect any leader who tells america to stuff it. he also kept the oil industry nationalised and petrol costs 35p / gallon.

Hey, most countries have bad man leaders, they just fool more people.

My Venezuelan friend who has lived in exile for most of her adult life is not mourning his passing. It remains to be seen what will happen about his succession. And, yes, our own government has more impact on petrol prices than one country in South America.
