Fuel price drop by stretch on Wed May 11, 2011 1:38 pm
I see Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco are dropping their prices 4p a litre, not much and will probably get hiked again soon but worth knowing.

also if you fancy a cry read this

Re: Fuel price drop by Wilberforce on Wed May 11, 2011 5:25 pm
Yes, I'd forgotten just how bad our roads were, until 5 o'clock sunday morning...
Cycled to work after it had been raining, and could not believe the number of puddles, ruts, etc, etc, all filled with water of course, and thus thoroughly soaked by the time I made it (yay for dry clothes in my bag though)..

Not noticed any fuel price drop as yet, might eyeball Asda on the way past though, just to see what they're wanting for diesel.

Re: Fuel price drop by Big Dav on Wed May 11, 2011 6:07 pm
£94 for the go-juice in the mpv this afternoon, thats what, £30 quid petrol, £60 tax man?

So, if the green-ovals can brand a pushbike why don't those of us who are capabale get stickers for our bikes with our Frontera logo on them?
