Well I've just put another jumper on....   Sigh.  ::)

If I put anymore on I'll look like a teddy bear!  ;D

1.72 euros here for tractor fuel. Interestingly petrol only 1.62. 

BP 1.98 for diesel.

I went up to our none profit making co op for fertiliser today. Gone up nearly 10%

Now the good news! The US is going to escort tankers through the Straits of Hormuz . Good luck with that!

When the Iranians start sinking U.S. warships, the shit will really hit the fan !
Cant see this ending well , as the septics dont seem to have any idea of a plan, apart from knocking out the mullahs and their armed forces.

My Instagram feed has recently been flooded with attractive 'Iranian' women supporting the Americans and Israelis with similar vids to the one that Al posted above.  :-\

Really ? And then what ?
Understandably, there doesnt seem to be an opposition waiting to take over running the show, so unless someone puts boots on the ground and an interim administration in place you either get chaos, or the regime rebuilds itself quickly and carries on.
The latter seems to be what is currently happening.

The new leader could well be the most dangerous yet, as he has lost his family in the last week or so, so nothing to lose and a lot of scores to settle.

Sky News . Lead story. Scott Bessent. First of course the coalition has to have knocked out all Irans missile capability. That is what is happening now apparently. I wonder if Iran has underwater drones? Maybe a cross between a torpedo and a sub.

Either way, I wouldn’t want to be on a loaded oil tanker.

On a separate note . Two factions have been very quiet. The Hooties and the Kurds

Uptown Houston, $3.99 a gallon for both petrol and diesel. That's 75p a litre give or take :-X

Even CN have picked up on just how tied to China th UK has become, arguing that the Chagos deal, the recent trade trips and trying to defend the Iranian regime only make sense of we're allies of China and by definition, anti American.

It's been a little while since I hired a car in Texas, but it's not the cheapest State for fuel, not California prices, (they're not too far behind the UK :-X), $3.20 or so rings a bell.

£1.85 for lorry juice at Exeter services. But probably was before this little disagreement....
