After reading the comment by Marta Hardy ('How much will we have to pay?', September 6) I had to write and educate her and any other reader who thinks high fuel prices are a good idea.
As fuel prices rise so does everything else - food, clothes, DIY products, also the price of public transport and haulage companies will go out of business.
When that happens, who do these people think will deliver the goods they buy, or do they think they appear in the shops by magic?
So, before you start to praise the high fuel prices, just think of the knock-on effect it has on everyday life and the cost of living. Some people have no idea.
