Brent crude oil is off 7.5% at $46 a barrel. It probably won't last as OPEC are meeting on Friday with a view to cutting production.

That was this afternoon.  Today is Friday. 

HTH. 

Thanks, young Tigger, I can always rely on you to keep me straight.
What did they decide?

They couldn't make a decision as the Russians wouldn't play ball and then they considered kicking the Russians out but couldn't make their mind up about that either! 

I'm not talking about our government, I'm talking about OPEC 

[STEMO]

That's probably why Brent crude is off 9.5% right now.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Yes OPEC has to a certain extent been neutered by the Yanks who will open their taps as OPEC countries close theirs.

That's 3.2 pence above Asda, then.

But why? I just do not get it. Does everyone think they're gonna be sat on the bog for 14 days?

There's no cure for stupid is there?? Petrol here at £116.8p this afternoon,but given crude prices have dropped something like 30% since January why haven't petrol prices dropped more than they have?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Because most of the pump price is tax and that doesn't drop.

because the fuel already in the system cost the current owners the old price.

Tax and VAT along with a generous dose of f*uck the general public tax.

A small town in northern Spain now has a “ lock down” following an outbreak suspected from a funeral ( wouldn’t surprise me as lots of kissing and hugging).

Some weeks back I asked what a lock down looks like. Well in El Haro it is police patrolling the streets and fines between 3000 euros up to 600,000  for none observance. Panic stockpiling anyone?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Hope they have plenty of bog roll!

16 million in lock down in Italy ....

For years, I've taken the piss out of my father in law who has a stock of essentials.
Last summer I needed something from.his garage.
Bog rolls? I estimate 250.
Bells whisky 40 litres
Tinned sardines in tomatoes sauce.
100 plus tins.
I was in Tesco and they had a deal on Grants worst blended. So I bought him 2 bottles.

Anyway, I had a look in my Christmas freezer, ain our garage and I found a goose.
