Only derv available at the two stations I visited.

And with derv costing £1.93 a litre (40p a litre more than proper fuel) I'm not surprised it wasn't selling.


Anyway, I'm OK for now but I wonder how long this will last. ::)

POTUS

Trump is all over the place with this Iran episode.

One minute he tells us that the US will bomb Iran back to the stone age.....The next he talks about pulling out and leaving it to Europe to sort it.

He gave uk clear instructions. " Get your own oil".

Don't worry this sh1t show will end in a few weeks then everyone else will have to pick up the mess ( except of course Israel)
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

Brackley had no diesel or petrol Thursday afternoon.  That said, that's not an unusual occurrence, even pre the current minor disagreement.

Dated if watchable British film from 1949, when London was an English city. ::)

Currently in Wales, normally I burn a tank of fuel in the mummy bus getting here and back.

Charged the I4 to 100% and I splashed 20% of juice in just after the Prince of Wales bridge, for the grand cost of £7.40. Continued onto our destination, BMW nav says I can get home with 12% remaining.

Should be less than a tenner. Normally cost me at least £60 to come here.

I should really invest in a granny lead, but I need at least a 10 or 15m one here to charge. Car gets no use once we arrive as we walk everywhere. Could easily charge back up over the course of several days.

That said the charger station out of 6 chargers 2 were broken, 2 were taken with what looked cars left there for the weekend. You don't get that problem at petrol stations....

Do tell us if BMW nav is lying and you end up walking the final mile home?  ;D
