I've been offered a very nice contract at an investment bank, but I'm very apprehensive to accept it given the ominous market conditions due to the war and the result of the economic sanctions to the global economy.Comment

When the oil price shot up back in 2008, we had a lot of oil thefts in our area. No doubt that'll be on the rise again.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Why? It seems to be £1.55 a litre at some supermarkets. If people are filling up at BP, the local showing as £179.9 right now, then they need to start filling up their tanks in a more sensible manner. BP garages are the most expensive across the UK and yet queues still form at them. It is mad.
I spend about 2 years doing a route where I drove pass 6 petrol stations. While all the Shell stations would be expensive, one of the BP's would fluctuate between being the most most expensive and cheapest. The Esso was the only one that was consistently one of the cheapest."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
