It was already £1.31 in Alnwick. I'm sure it will be higher again by the end of the week end.

I have visions of you watching the AIS very intently just before making the Floptilla crossing.
I want no part of it.
Besides, my next boat is going to be a diesel.

Tesco are doing their 5p off a litre.
Tesco are doing their 5p off a litre, so i have got the missus to split the shopping so we get 2 vouchers. Then take the Jerry cans when i fill the car up, works out at saving a fiver when you buy 100litres and a weird look from the checkout person.
I filled up on Tuesday and the Tesco in Pembroke Dock was 126.9p a litre minus the 5p so worked out at 121.9p, still a rediculous amount but sounds a lot better than what some of you are paying.
