I AM writing this letter after reading an article in last week's Citizen (August 3) about the country's Dump the Pump campaign.

I really do think it's about time the British public stood up for themselves and took a stand against our government.

It's ridiculous how we are expected to pay such extortionate prices for our petrol when the Americans can fill their vehicles up at a mere 30 pence a gallon.

For the third week in a row on Monday I will be joining the minority of the country who actually decide to do something about this matter and I am hoping that it will not be too long before everybody else gets sick of paying out so much money and joins in the protest.

So come on people and Dump the Pump!
