Don’t be surprised if the majority think it was worth it for that Euro 1.30, even if in the long term they will suffer and the economy goes in a downward spiral.
Remember that the Maltese measure the budget / economy by the price of things and the amount of social services, and not by the number and nature of opportunities.
The words medium-term, strategy, planning and long-term are not part of our vocabulary.
Internationally, the price of LNGs has come down by about 20% since a year ago.
Can The Times journalists seek some explanations for what they report?
Ooops, I meant LPGs, not LNGs.
Wow and what about petrol and diesel?
I will save the grand total of 20€ every YEAR.
Now we will be declared out of the poverty line.
Next time Joseph will announce such price movements in baked beans, corned beef, tonn taz-zejt, from Castille Podium Station.
You won’t save 20 Euro a year. The price will go up again before winter as international demand picks up as it always does.
That was going to be my question, will the price be sustained for the winter months?
Now the cost of running the eternal flame is even lower.
What is going to be said when it goes up again? That is went up by a few cents but went down by more than a Euro?
Pathetic.
Damn, I’ve just bought two cylinders. I could have saved €2.60 and had a capuccino l-Ferries.
The lower price of gas has nothing to do with Muscat in government. It is all due to fluctuations in the energy market.
Not so in the so-called GonziPN years, Gonzi in government managed to keep energy prices largely stable despite huge increases in market prices. But that was all taken for granted, then.
Headlines in The Times then read: Price of Maltese loaf up by 1c. And people complained.
Wow great news. I’m off to get one. Now at last I can again afford to cook my own kabocci and ross il-forn rather than eat McDonalds fast food every day.
Issa t-tonn taz-zejt u l-kunserva jmiss.
Tinsiex il-fazola tal-bott, xbin – ghax dik dalwaqt torhos ukoll.
U l-lancin mijt tal-Flyin’ Wheel, halli zgur nergghu lura ghaz-zmien ta’ Mintoff.
In June when no heaters are on and when people do hardly any home cooking. Ah, but BBQs…
Tehodhiex bi kbira jekk dan is-sajf il-Laburisti jixghelu l-heater flok l-AC ghax Joseph rahhsilna l-gas.
Meta ser jorhos it-tonn taz-zejt?
Tinsiex il-bulubif, u l-kavalli fiz-zalza tat-tadam.
Naħseb le, għax Joe bi saladd u heltie fud jimxi.
Dak issa fil-budget li jmiss, halli flok sentejn naghmlu hamsa fl-excessive deficit procedure.

RTE is like the emperor in Star Wars. He’s taken the control of all vital points in state. Even the courts are ruled by his orders, there is no justice, there is no law.
We cannot speak freely. The press is afraid of him, they can do nothing without his wish. The emperor is sitting on the throne and the Jedi has long gone.
Besides, we just want to protect a little piece of green in the city. We don’t hope for any help but world must see this tyrant and his fascism.

Is this Malta in the near future?
Meta ha jorhos is-sardin tal -landa tal -qattus please?
Wara 25 sena ta’ gid u prosperita Malta bdit idduq it-toghma ta l-inkompetenza socjalista Mintoffjana.
Tajba, Joseph. Veru Prim Ministru nkapaci u zghir minn mohhu.
U meta jerga joghla jkun tort tan-Nazzjonalisti, ovvjament – ghax jghidulna li marru jxewxu lil tal-gas.
There is very simple explanation for that decrease. Demand in summer goes down for gas (especially due to the lower usage of gas heaters obviously).
[Daphne – The price is not affected by demand and supply in the Maltese market, but by international demand and supply.]
The real reason is that there is now an over production of gas at government level and which is assumed will be lasting the full five years of this Gvern tal-Labour biss.
Eh, imma issa s-soppa tal-armla ser tigi tiswa inqas, u nkunu nistghu naffordjaw il-pastarda u l-gbejna.
Nahseb ghal dan ir-rohs kollu li qed issemmu (jew tixtiequ ghal xejn) irridu nibdew nistennew sensiela ta’ budgets socjalisti bhal ma kien ikollna that il-perit salvatur.
‘Ahleb, Guz’ kienet il-ghajta meta l-kunserva torhos b-sitt habbiet!!
I see that Manum, Paddling Duck and Auntie Hetty were on the same wave lenght as me. Must be same age bracket, watching the Budget speeches of the 80s.
As someone said somewhere on Facebook, “gas down lest; issa dritt ghal gol-hajt jonqos”.
Useless. I switched to electricity a long time ago and a reduction in the cost of electricity is what I am waiting for.
It’s been promised. I expect it to be done – as promised.
Suppost illum trahhas il-petrol b’ tal-anqas tlett centezmi la l-prezz taz-zejt nizel, u m’hemmx dik il-korruzzjoni ta’ zmien in-Nazzjonalisti.
Ahna bl-isfilati tal-moda il-palazz tal-Girgenti u Kastilja ma nimlewx zaqqna.
Some simple mathematics which is not far from the truth:
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130331/local/unleaded-petrol.463492
Only last month, unleaded Petrol cost €1.49 per litre
12kg LPG cost €17.90= €1.49666’ per kg
Prices matched.
Now a 12kg LPG costs €16.60 = €1.383333’ That’s 11cents cheaper !!
Surprisingly we got a reduction in price of unleaded petrol of 1cent.
Who’s getting the other TEN cents?
