Diesel at some of our Tesco and Esso stations is 1.66.9. Don’t care about petrol.
I filled up with diesel at our main Sainsburys 10 days ago and paid 167.9, I would expect it to be at least 5p cheaper now.

And you have the audacity to moan about log burners when your running around in a stinky diesel.

And I bet it’s a Massey Ferguson :D

Excellent reply, just a minor mistake though and I'm sure you will take it on the chin.
A woodbunning stove emits more PM2.5 particles than a HGV. A minor detail but thought I'd mention it.

Sorry to raise the H&M topic again but now I see that after all his 'revelations' he actually expects Charles and William to apologise to Meghan. Well it's never going to happen. And if he thinks it is either he is utterly deluded or someone is telling him what to think. Simply unbelievable.

My favourite book promotion tour was a bit of a waste of time…every bookshop I visited had sold out. :thumbup: :D

I have read some of the tabloids are now asking the Palace to come out of hiding and counter Harry’s accusations…must be difficult for them because they know if they do it will be the end of this now discredited institution. I of course would welcome a denial as it would force Harry into disclosing much more damaging truths, which in turn would hopefully would speed up this process. :clap:

Merv, really? While OL was off promoting the book no mention of you know what. Now you've started him off again. Unbelievable.

You could be forgiven for choosing the HGV sitting outside the depot, even more so when you consider that particulates are emitted not just from the exhaust, but also generated from tyre, brake pad and clutch wear. But, while your logic is sound, you’d be wrong to plump for the lorry.

That’s because the latest government findings reveal that a single wood burner generates twice the number of harmful PM2.5 particles than a diesel exhaust. The study also reveals that 40 per cent of particulates emanate from wood and coal fires. Moreover, a paper by the British Medical Journal found that just one “wood log burning stove” sends more PM2.5 into the atmosphere than a “1,000 petrol cars”

My lord, my case rests. 😂

Sorry. My bad.

But while we're here, I see H has now admitted in an interview (not tabloid spin) that he may have mis-remembered some things.

And it was amusing to see a large pile of books in W H Smith this morning all labelled Spare. Yes they certainly are!

They're all half price.
Is that because only half of the contents contains anything near the truth? My friend was asking..............

No offence intended Ray, but personally I couldn’t give a t*ss.

Well according to Meghan Harry, there are only half as many pages as she he originally wrote. My friend said to tell your friend...

I wonder how many of those speaking out about Harry have already ordered their royal honours outfits?

Don’t worry Stephen they will soon be emerging to do their PR “we are victims but couldn’t tell our side of the story” propaganda walkabouts. :yawn:

I heard Camilla mention OL at a walkabout. "Off with his head" was what she said.

Well you blame her for leading Charles astray, so clearly she has the ear of the King, which can't be bad. :angel:
