Surprised at no increase on Fuel, Tobacco, and Booze. They also scrapped the cider hike

Can handle the VAT rise on these, instead of the yearly duty rises on  the price of Ciggys & Booze

I'm moving to Norway

They don't have any debt and actually make a profit of 153% of GDP

Just their cost of living is so high, I'd have to be tea total to live there

I was in Abu Dhabi last weekend and thought myself lucky to get 2 pints of Guiness and a pint of Carlsberg for the equivelent of £17.

In Doha a couple of months ago it was £8 - £10 for a pint!!!

The VAT rise delayed until January helps with my car purchase  :drinking:

Very surprised that the usual suspects of booze, fags and petrol got off so lightly.

Better than them lumping on extra duty and then  the VAT increase on top
