Gotta ask yourself the question, "do you really need a 4x4?"

 

[billyo]

gcol ,yes its hard going over the fields in a mini or smart car i though when i bough it i was doing my bit by getting rid of two cars,look like i will have to buy a little van as well now TROUBLE is i cant see which little bit of the planet i have save but i will have to park my new van in it now

 

[empip]

Just look at the Oz.
Diesel $1.35 ........... LPG $0.53 ......... Litre
$2.31 - £1
Diesel at £2.66 Imp. Gallon (4.546 Litres)

LPG at £1.04 Imp. Gallon yep £1.04 !!

 

[billyo]

empip, to convert to gas £1750 x vat, gas does 27% less per mile,they dont sell it at our village and nearest garage is 14 mile each way,so what now give us a clue

 

[empip]

Who said anything about conversion??
Only way you'll get those prices is to emigrate.

Pay up and look as big as your vehicle

Move to Ireland our diesel is about 1.08 Euro a litre that works out about 75p. Took my 4x4 to the UK on the ferry last week, nearly died at the fuel prices. I remember the days when it was 40p a litre at Safeway (do you still have Safeways?) the trauma when it gradually crept up to 45p then 50p.

Mind you our road tax is a lot more so perhaps not such a good idea. Oh and I forgot the roads are dire, full of potholes and we have just 10 miles of motorway in the whole country. Did I mention the tractors everywhere?

I shall just shut up and go back to watching the rain

Do you still have Safeways?

Sort of. The stores are still standing, but they have been bought out by Wm. Morrison.

A blessing.

 

[securespark]

Yup. I like Morrisons. But Mrs Secure has banned me (under threat of D.I.V.O.R.C.E.) from visiting the Pie Shop ever again.

 

[billyo]

Amanita, you dont have a war to pay for.but 75p a litre a already have booked the ferry see you in a pot hole our 4x4 will get us out we can leave all those in there micra's in they can save the planet while we drive on it

 

[Steve]

Yup. I like Morrisons. But Mrs Secure has banned me (under threat of D.I.V.O.R.C.E.) from visiting the Pie Shop ever again.

Anyone know why Morrisons pi shop can get away with displaying meat pies at room temperature all day?

Do you know secure? I seem to recall you were in the food business at one point. I remember reading a news article about an EHO questionning Morrisons over the above practise.


Another thing - why do pi and pie sound the same? Following English word rules, pi should sound like pee.
