This was when the other garages and piss takers of the supermarkets were selling it for around 90p a gallon more My brother in law is from Stranraer and has been going on about their prices for a while now Was not paying much attention about it until someone posted a photo of their prices online I could not believe it when i saw it Great spot. Supermarkets are under scrutiny just now - rightly so - there was someone on the radio from Which, I think yestrerday talking about the disparity between diesel and petrol. What will probably happen is they will equalise the prices but nobody will go to jail for the way these prices have been fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous to that it had been 138.9. For unleaded. Local Shell garage to me is usually a bit higher, but is now same price as Tesco Westhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity you do not live closer to Oban You would be doing somersaults at 1.35 for diesel at Tesco Oban. One of the locals told me this was the price when i was talking to him on Sunday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must live on the outskirts of Stranraer for you to see Creetown from your house? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school I went to that means "starting from April." We've not even had April's figures yet, never mind the subsequent months. Nice of you to add an unprovoked massive L to your collection, though. Down to 8.7%. What type of cliff is this? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, in your mind, does "starting to fall off a cliff" look like? You're coming across as utterly raging that something I said months ago would start happening from the end of April looks like it is indeed starting to happen. Why so bitter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Inflation not coming down as expected (consensus was 8.4%) in UK but falling in most of Europe with the exception of the Netherlands. Expect another interest rate rise tomorrow. Just a matter of will it be 0.25% or 0.5% I guess. Hope no-one is needing to re-mortgage in the near future. And @Weebully and @Todd_is_God can resume their wee tiff. So that'll be fun. Edited June 21, 2023 by Suspect Device 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
