Fuel

[Deerhunter22]

a friend sent me this a week back, it is fuel price in Turkey, so about £1 a ltr for petrol and £1.30 for diesel

You'd be as swell just taking a trip to parliament and bending down in front of Reeves and Starmer I swear. The fuel duty is unbelievable in this country, if you want a functioning economy you make energy cheap, Energy is require for literally anything and everything to work and get done.

Hate to think what the motorway prices have now reached

At least if all the local fuel stations are empty chances are there will still be fuel on the motorway!

I've rarely purchased butcher's meat.

Can't remember the last time we bought minced beef.
Venison mince has replaced it in our house..

Don't forget who takes roughly 60% of what you pay for petrol & diesel in taxes, for doing no risk taking, exploration, drilling, refining, shipping, hauling or retailing. If you read through the accounts of the big oil companies, a miniscule % of their global profit comes from selling petrol and diesel in the UK.

Luckily for me the deisel in trucks is not paid for by me. If I was fit to walk distance now I'm five minutes walk from the estate's first fields, although the furthest ground is a good 1.5 hours walk away and the most productive. I think twice before even going shopping and visits to hospital are a forty mile round trip twice a week. Petrol £1.49 Deisel £1.62.

Road fuel I can, if it comes to it, do without …..I am dreading the shrinking heating oil level in our tank …. Lady who is in charge of our community pub and its guest rooms just paid over a grand for 750 litres kero …

I topped up my Vitara tank yesterday. 45 litres and it cost £12 more than 3 weeks ago.
Its BP and the assistant said pre war they were getting 5 deliveries a week now rationed to 2 or 3 a week. They are expecting it to keep on increasing in price until early May.

I went to my local Saturday evening for some bread, every pump closed and cordoned off.
Sunday passed by and topped up for this coming week.
£1.94 ffs and the government is making even more money through the extra tax revenue, if they had any heart they would help out in some way.

They (Government) promised to "hold to account" any retailer taking the p*** but what exactly does that mean and when will they act??

Exactly!

A sedan chair. Carried by a team of bare breasted Nubian beauties. That's the only way to travel. Poop-Poop!

Don't worry about the walk there but about the drag back!

It will be a whole different experience if you camp & hunt, you've probably already done it. I think you get that much closer to nature as a result.

Nowt like sitting in a tower and watching three fallow walk thro the camp and knowing your buddy is asleep in the tent that is in the backstop area

I did the calculations driving around too fetch me up and down the road each night Is 30 miles with another 20-25 or so miles on average driven for deer, ow! Not sure how fuel effective the old landrovers are but I bloody hope they arent that bad!

Incredibly fortunate too be in the position where too him that If its the cost of the hobby, that Is just the cost and he deals with it, dont think he's bought a rifle in years and go through less than a 100rds a year so not too bad, not too mention no fancy thermals

Although I say that bloody lot of money spent on diesel when otherwise a thermal would probably give us more opportunities per-mile and less days spent staking, but like most of the traditional generation thermal isn't there cup of tea.

I'd be bloody ecstatic if he said he was considering a non-fixed Ziess! that's one thing I dont like 6x on roe, but I've learned too shoot it fine.

Im fortune my stalking is all fairly local but I am beginning to rethink my caravaning plans.

Some young lad decided to arrange my plans for the stalking show and my further adventures in my petrol guzzling camper.

K'INELL KEV!, Hope you gripped the scrote.

I’m fortunate that most of my ground is within 10 minutes drive or half an hours walk so a non issue as far as stalking goes, not too many fallow so nothing big to carry back.

Work wise, I run a medium sized groundworks company, I am genuinely worried the plant will grind to a halt and if it doesn’t the price is eye watering, with 6 new contracts picked up this year I can’t go back for increases for 12 months!

Ouch. No rise and fall clause?

 

[MilesW]

UK Government needs to seriously and strategically think about our own strategic industries.

They have been for the last 20 years plus. Thinking about running them into the ground that is.
Oil, gas, refining, plastics, petrochemicals, glass, cement and steel. That is just the headline acts. There are dozens more.
Almost every one the direct result of political decisions. Not tactical, not strategic, just bloody minded policy.

Why the **** are we having to import diesel, petrol and Jet A1 when we had perfectly good refineries that produced most of what we needed all from production in the North Sea.

See answer above.

It is no consolation, but GB is not alone in this stupidity.

At very least UK should increase the cost to the US of operating out of the UK to compensate for all the additional costs we now have to bear.

Police where in attendance.

It was parked up in the lay by opposite the house . I had not long put gear in getting ready for the Stalking show.

Ouch. No rise and fall clause?

No, other than on dayworks.

No, other than on dayworks.

Ouch, again.

It's grim, my camper does about 22mpg and it was costing about £90 to fill up a couple of months ago. Not looking forward to the next time it needs filling
