Just this morning, Scrobs was doing a bit of tidying in the boot of the Scrobmobile, in preparation for taking a load of stuff to the tip etc...
In the boot, is a varied collection of shopping bags from various stores - some gone now, and old coats etc., and it was one of these which I'd bought some years ago, and have hardly ever worn, but it was kept in case I had a puncture or someone might nick the catalyser, or similar, and I had to walk home!
The pockets also contained the usual dross, but one bit of paper turned out to be a receipt for some petrol, I'd bought from a local garage almost exactly four years ago to the day!
Back then, I paid £1.779 per litre for Ultimate, as I rarely do long journeys, well, back then we didn't go far, and the old engine never really warmed up enough, so the advice from a petrol-head friend was to go for the best - so we always did!
I'm somewhat surprised at the cost, as even now, with Starmer and Reeves totally wrecking the finances of our cherished country, I'm paying that much even now!
Surely, the Hormuz was open, Sunak was indeed wreaking havoc etc., but what was the reason for the high cost back then?

That was probably the Ukraine blip, but the Starmer/Reeves mess seems likely to be much more than a blip.
Aw thank you, AK! Being so consumed with village issues, U3A etc., it never occurred to me that Ukraine was the issue!
I must be getting old...
