1500l of kerosene ordered last week, delivered today (wasn't expecting it until next week). £1148.18
Just checked to see how much if I ordered it today on the same 2 week delivery, £1540.62

Yesterday unleaded was £1.48-1.58 and diesel was £1.51-1.69 at the stations I drove past.

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.

Because I don't live in the same area as you?

When I checked on Friday the local BP garage was cheaper than Shell.

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.

Filled up at £1.70 with Diesel this morning

Now heading for 120p/L.

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.

I'm glad I got our heating oil tank filled a couple of weeks ago. It was 66p/litre then; now it's 88p.

Think we are all losing at mo. Received £20k recently following some legal decision over the teacher's pension I have from the late missus's job. With all the expired savings accounts must have £30 to £40k in cash but just not sure what to do with it at the moment.

Sure we've been here before so forgive the repeat. Take one of your lady friends, maybe the mad one, to Monaco and put it all on red/black!

Lots of volatility, commodities and miners up, defensives holding, and European stocks getting crushed.

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.

One of my shops has sold an unusually high number of Ukraine/Scotland lapel pin badges, so I'm £35 minus expenses ahead for this war. Boom !!

You mean Ghost of Tarbera or Jimmy Tarbuck?

Either? Both?

Tarbie would take it all to Cheltenham

Bought £10K of Palladium ETC before New Year, along with similar amounts of Gold and Platinum ETCs. Working well as an offset against Global equity drops.
