I feel I've paid for it...
Price of diesel in your area?

I bought a tank of fuel on 14 March, apparently the first since 10 February (that can't be right).
It was 159.9p and the Esso fuel card I have via the Blue Light Card knocks off 4 pence per litre.
By the end of the day on the 14th, the same filling station was up to 162.9p and is now at 175.9p
Local Tesco is 167.9 and my nearest filling station (Shell) is now at 179.9p
Scandalous!

So does that mean my efforts yesterday are in vainThe price of Brent Crude Oil has today dropped 14% due to progress in diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict in the Gulf to an end.
That should be reflected in falls in the price at the pumps by sometime next year.
Just passed three fuel stations which happen to be within a couple of hundred metres of each other. Two are competing one couldn’t give a rats 
…
Asda 168.9 ppl
BP 168.9 ppl
Esso 175.9 ppl
(The Esso has an inbuilt Subway so I guess the draw of savoury cakes (it’s legally not bread) full of fake tuna (don’t even ask) is enough of a draw to get people filling there rather than literally opposite, even when it costs 7ppl more).

Real Bread is getting increasingly difficult to find, especially in metropolitan areas. I was shocked of it in the USA thirty years ago.Just passed three fuel stations which happen to be within a couple of hundred metres of each other. Two are competing one couldn’t give a rats

All those disgusting soft sweet-ish loafs.
FFW now and all I can find here is pre-backed-frozen-re-heated bread, even in the so called "Bäckerei ". The difference is evident the day after you buy it.
They shouldn't be allowed to call it bread. But we want "cheap" "fresh" bread all the day along..
P.S . Price of bread is going to raise with price of oil. :-(
The price of everything will be going up. Although the price of oil apparently dipped a little today that will be ping-ponging around for a bit while those that are in positions to make threats to peace, along with their backers from the oil industry, short the price every time it bounces and make themselves a literal killing.
The UK does seem to be rip off central though.
I saw a video on YT yesterday where a guy flew to Turkey for his weekly shop (only consisting of toiletries and dried goods though as there are controls on what fruit/ veg/meat and dairy you can cross borders with) and when he combined the price of the flights and his shopping it was still £20 cheaper than what he would have paid in Tesco!
I can see why people move to Europe when they get older. Sadly doesn’t seem to be an easy option anymore.
To be fair I imagine most of them paid into the health service all their working life so why not. Other than for some things they’d have a better outcome being treated in Europe if they could be (UK has worst survival rates for all cancers except skin cancer).
I did see some chap on Gibraltar had an operation performed by robot controlled by an NHS surgeon in the UK though, medical advances are pretty amazing.
Because they stopped paying for it when they sodded off?
The NHS are taking a harder line now, and regardless of citizenship if folk are not an actual UK resident they starting to tell them to sodu offu.
The grass isnt necessarily greener. You just risk trading one beef (being taxed through the arse) for another (crime, questionable national security, poorer health care and eduction, a politically and militarily unstable region) instead. Best decide what you're happy to do without and what youre happy to put up with and just grin and bear it.
In this case ill stick with bitching about the price of diseasel, rather than have cheap diesel but have to pay to fly my daughter back to private school in the UK for a proper education anyway.
My 2 local garages.....
Is that Euros
