I didn’t realise it was such a high proportion and I guess it might be the reason for the recent price hikes (excluding profiteering of course!). I put this on earlier, along with the fact that supplies are being restricted, think large steel boxes at war to where it might be going. Also the refineries are slowing production down I suspect as a bit of punishment to us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so we might follow suit Yes we stayed in the car park last night. Had breakfast there this morning as well and that was equally as good. Back on the subject of diesel. Just called to refuel the van ready for our Easter break in North Norfolk and it clicked off at £99 before it was full 😕 (Not all used to go get a pie 🤣🤣🤣) The chap in front of us put £10 in his car. He must have been going to Pump 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not their fault. That’s a ‘nice’ sign. Saves you going in to ask. They have diesel again now On 30/03/2022 at 00:01, Liam said: I ordered fuel yesterday, and it was a fair bit more per litre than the price on than the price website. Even Kerosense is more than that at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the grumpy looking one priming up some wood. Think I’m fed up being in a shed while the weather’s good. Anyway, it’s 16p(ish) cheaper than it were on Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frahkn Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Leaving aside price, is availability ok? I ask because my marina (in Staffordshire) e-mailed me to say that they were limiting the amount each person could buy. Admittedly, this was a few weeks ago but they haven't said the policy has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no problems so far, although Rick on the fuel boat did have delivery problems during the last fuel foolishness, purely land based garages were showing some shortages a few weeks ago but I've not seen any recently. 58 minutes ago, Alan de Enfield said: If its gravy, it must be 'Onion Gravy' if not, then its got to be 'Fruity Curry sauce' I will give you the onion gravy but not the fruity curry sauce, that would almost put me off a good chippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
