It appears to be a 20,000+ strong herding pen for H_B style moonhowlers obsessed over the NWO, racist cretins whining about immigrants and fat truck drivers bemoaning woke culture and electric vehicles. A nice little microcosm as to why "Britons", despite years of laughing at the French for being spineless surrender monkeys, will simply roll over and let big business tickle their bellies, whilst the French would be setting stuff on fire and scaring the shite out of their political leaders. Not much difference in price between the UK and France.

I hate the 'surrender monkey' shite. It was amusing on The Simpsons, but it's right wing propaganda otherwise and I can't believe so many folk, who wouldn't consider themselves right wing, continue to use it. See also; folk who take their opinions on cyclists from Tory scumbag Jeremy Clarkson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakedee Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Fuel in the Falkirk area is always a little more expensive than elsewhere. I usually fill up in Alloa when visiting my folks as it is usually a penny or two cheaper there. Happened to be in Edinburgh yesterday and went to the Morrisons at the Gyle. Again, Edinburgh is often cheaper by a little. Got a shock when I saw just how much it was in Redding. The Esso garage at Rumford had diesel at 189.9 per litre. Says something when Esso is cheaper than Tesco. Noticed this as well, where we are the options are a Jet garage, and a Tesco. Usually Tesco is a penny or two per litre cheaper until recently.Diesel prices this morning.Tesco £191.9 p/lJet £189.9p/l. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 46% of the petrol price is tax, duty plus VAT. Hopefully I won't need to fill up till they drop the duty by a fair chunk, they're taking in a huge amount from VAT so it won't really cost anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we have a windfall tax on the Govt for the huge hike in VAT take? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) I assume everyone knows about the petrol prices app. Shows the cheapest near you. 178.9p Sainsburys Garthdee for me. Cheaper than Asda across the road for a change. Edited June 11, 2022 by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then lists the various technologies that are well known as prospects. He sums up by hinting that a Scottish CEGB is the cure-all. As a piece it would be good as a paper for some exam or other. Setting aside the reasons he has been discredited, it's quite hard to take his output as anything more than polemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number of first time buyers doubles as price of average starter home drops by over £10k in 2021 | Barclays Quote First time buyers who got on the property ladder in 2021 paid an average £281,900 Barclays’ data shows the average deposit paid by a sole first time buyer in 2021 was £61,100 How much is Netflix per month? £10.99? Add 4 takeaways a month and it would be about £131 in total so it would be about 39 years to save up that deposit. Edit: Basically, the younger generation would be better killing their parents to be able to afford a deposit. Far better for the planet to have fewer old b*****ds (like me) around as well.
