start of todays working day trade then?

[Kevin Wood]

Local Morrisons was still at 95.9 this morning. Everywhere else the wrong side of a quid

Now, about those LPG conversions...

Yes indeed, but how long will it be before the money grabbers in government realise that lots of conversions are taking place and hikes up the tax on LPG as well?

[Kevin Wood]

True. They'll wait until the pickings are rich enough then they'll strike.

Then again, I said that 7 years ago when I last considered it and it hasn't happened.

3 local garages at 10:00 today  ... Esso 98.9, Esso 97.9, Shell 93.9 ...

guess where I went ..

[Baron Von Spongebob]

As usual the people of the UK will moan about it but not do anything.

And now they want to monitor phone calls too  

I have nothing to hide but dont think my privacy should be invaded.

Agree about the moaning I also agree that there needs to be action.  Apart from a repeat of the fuel blockades, what, realistically, can be done?

It is all very well to say that everyone should not buy fuel for a day, but we all know that the fuel will be bought even if a day or so later.  Nobody really losses out.

Blockade the houses of parliament?  Have a mass strike across every public service and private company?  It only when there are real costs involved that hurt the government that any notice will be taken and action brought about as a result.

There not likely to hike LPG tax as its a common heating fuel in the Uk......and suddenly wacking a tax on home owners realy wont go down well.

We need to be French, if they dont agree with something everyone knows about it

no one can be expected to do the impossible

It doesn't stop them doing a "red diesel" though. Fuel duty is dependant upon the end use and it wouldn't be difficult to add a trace chemical to LPG supplied for heating that could be picked up by sniffing LPG from a vehicle. Likely to require too much planning for this government to contemplate, but not impossible.

Still not easy to do....and very costly...its not like you can 'dip' an LPG tank and taking a sample is pretty hard because it evaporates!
