This is an independent fuel station near me that are always cheap and didn’t once run out during the morondemic.
It seems mad that £1.40 a litre is cheap but hey-ho…
Shows that there must be a fair profit in the job for bulk-buying supermarkets!

All your kit or? Love that lil fairy?
hard hat'd done nothing for you :giggle::oops:
had to cross hire in the PPM ... my 30 tonner had been out on a job for ten days and wasn't pulling it in just for this. The "lil fairy" was my Ransome Rapier HS10 ... great little crane

BBC news article today about how wholesale prices have gone down since Santa brought us a new coronavirus… not reflecting in pump prices. They reckon retailers are making the most profit they ever have, even with increased costs to run the forecourt.
We are being taken for a ride here….

" Shell scraps plans to develop Cambo oilfield, citing economics not the climate " :unsure::rolleyes::censored:

" The International Energy Agency said in a recent report that investments into new fossil fuel infrastructure should stop immediately if the world wants to have a good chance of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. ....... Before Thursday, Shell had voiced frustration at the lack of clarity on policy direction from the UK government. In October, a British regulator blocked Shell's plans to develop the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea on environmental grounds. ........ A Dutch court in The Hague in May ordered Shell to slash its emissions by 45% by 2030, from 2019 levels, to be in line with the Paris Agreement, in a landmark decision that has inspired similar cases against other oil companies. Shell is appealing the decision. ... The environmental group Friends of the Earth, which had campaigned against Cambo, said on Twitter: "The future of the project is now in serious doubt - as it should be. There is no need for a new oil field during a climate crisis!" ........ Shell had a 30% stake in the oilfield, while Siccar Point controls the rest of the venture. Its future is now in doubt. ....... The UK government, which hosted the recent COP26 talks in Scotland and has pitched itself as a global climate leader, had come under enormous pressure to reject the massive project. "

Hardly surprising really then, is it? ....
why invest billions when the UK gov. is saying the fuel'll be banned by the time they get it out the ground / sea bed :rolleyes: ...
yes there'll almost certainly be a world market for it, but the obstacles Shell're likely to face from Boris Plc, et al, are hardly likely to be conducive ...
so can well see why they've decided - **** it :rolleyes:


"hoisted by their own petard"
