The UK 2011 Budget has been announced. Big news is that fuel has been cut by 1p per litre, a drop in the ocean compared to the hikes over the last year but any reduction, no matter how small, is better than a hike.

An extra 4p has been added to beer, 15p to a bottle of wine and 54p to a bottle of spirits.
