          It was pretty exciting when it was 15%.

          These days, not so much.
          When the fun stops, STOP.

                Interesting that as I filled up at the Asda in Moss Side and paid about £1.20 per a litre of diesel - which is cheapest I have seen it for a while.

                    He'll come back to his car which will be empty again. It's actually twice the price as he is just buying his own fuel back.

                      Nah- its pay at pump and I normally do it about 7 in the morning after the locals have gone to bed and way before they get up.

                      And besides there is a large KFC nearby and it seems the 24 hour availability of fried chicken has pacified the locals somewhat.
