Can't you sneak into the refinery?

Lets face it, on your manor they can hardly claim it costs a lot to transport it 300 yards down the road.

The SAS and diplomat that were captured in Libya would have been still at large in the refinery, so sneaking in not a problem. Getting one of their filler hoses to fit my Skoda would be a tad problematic, tho' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Been saying that for years, claimed "standardised delivery charge" doesn't wash anymore. :evil:

There's a Tesco on the A40 coming into London which, according to Mr A via Twitter, is still charging that for derv.

I may take a scenic route into London on Friday, as the cheapest I can find locally up in Hitchin is £1.35 at the moment.

You could get another 5p off if you can catch a punter that has bought £50 worth of goods as they automatically get a voucher for 5p off fuel. they last for 7 days BTW
Our Tossers has the advert outside but the nearest Tossers filling station is 30 miles away :roll:

Sorry Oneeye was being a little sarcastic as Mr Taylor keeps telling us we should be out when our public need us. Nobody was struggling. far from it. Did finish with a nice wee trip to Wallyford though so was worth staying out.
