00:00If they're that desperate, how can they afford to run a car then?
00:03I mean, are they selling it on the black market?
00:06Probably.
00:06I don't know.
00:08That is, that's ridiculous.
00:10Flipping heck.
00:10I know.
00:11Okay.
00:13The drive away is more and more and more because people just can't afford it.
00:18And I know you shouldn't be doing that, but...
00:20See how they can get away with that because they've got the registration?
00:24Yeah.
00:24Or is it not followed up?
00:25I do drive, but I've also got my own.
00:29I also use public transport, but it's a knock-on effect.
00:32It's going to affect public transport.
00:34Prices are going to go up on bus, train tickets.
00:37Driven all my life and me through my job and all that.
00:40So diesel, petrol, you got it.
00:42I've just managed to get myself a little car and yet prices have skyrocketed.
00:46I feel like there's a lot of very wealthy people milking the system.
00:53I don't want to promote anywhere, but I do go somewhere that's a little bit cheaper.
00:57Yeah.
00:58Because when I normally go, it is shot right up.
01:01Well, it does affect you because...
01:02It affects everything.
01:04Food.
01:04Yeah, everything.
01:06And you're not getting value for money.
01:08It's just ridiculous.
01:10I'm struggling with the prices.
01:12Simple as I know a lot of other people are.
01:14Why is it, why is it, that cost can be justified?
01:19Can people justify, can companies justify why the prices have gone up in food and everything else?
01:25And it's all down, it's all down to corporate greed.
01:28So, thank you.
01:29Thank you very much.
01:29You're getting, you're getting the confidence.
01:30Cheers.
