[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

According to Ian Collins at Talk Radio we should expect £1.70+ litre a week from now.

There are many articles on the facts on smoking illnesses and death but this, from our NHS that spends £11 billion per year tackling the effects, is good enough:

https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/lifestyle/what-are-the-health-risks-of-smoking/

 

And there is no article that can prove a link between smoking and many of those ailments.  And that was my point, its unproven.  I never said smoking didn't cause cancer and blood clotting, I just said nobody has yet been able to prove it.

There is circumstantial evidence in the form of a correlation between risks of some diseases and smoking, but I have just found a correlation between obesity and watching Love Island.  Yet I doubt watching trash TV causes obesity.

Speaking of obesity, the NHS website swears blind that being obese will cause diabetes, but keeps quiet that both types are hereditary.  Yes, you are more likely to get type 2 if you are a fat slob (watching Love Island, according to my correlation linked fact from above), but only if you have the faulty genes to start with.  Unless the leaflets from the (NHS) diabetes clinic are lying, of course.

Everything needs a tag line now, to get through to the ear more dumbed down, stupid.  Like "Speed Kills" banded about by the old bill/dvla/etc several years ago, but had to stop because it fell foul of ASA, after it was discovered that nobody had ever died of speed, only acceleration.

Anyway, it was, as said previously, a throw away comment, and there are far more important things to going on than arguing about a non-issue.

I couldn’t agree more as we head towards WW3 :'( :'(

[Sir Tigger KC]

Gone up another 5 cents a litre since Friday.

Petrol or silicone tits?

Is it a little indy station Steve? There are a few smaller ones around here that have always charged far more that the supermarkets/bigboys. Filled up last night @ £146.9 at local Sainsburys.

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Christ on a bike. 172ppl for diesel for the work van tonight... Apparently its mixed with unicorn pee.

Thats a form of acceleration ronnyd , as acceleration can be a negative value.

At this rate, the £99 limit at most supermarket pumps per day won't give enough fuel to last until tomorrow, when you can next fill up

[TheBoy]

Doesn't seem that long ago when all the fuel stations were having new electronic signs fitted to they could display > £1 a litre.

Maybe they will soon start to price fuel in millilitres....
