    Morning. WFW. Course completed. Back to same old same old. Night ride tonight with mates. Dark and dry out. Let's hope fuel price goes down a bit. Local independent garage was charging 148 for derv but just refilled his tanks and its shot up to 170 something. 😡
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Moaning,

    ^OW! I'd call that incentive to ride the bike more, I thought it was bad a couple of years ago when I was paying 144/Ltr in the IOM

    WFW possibly last day this week (fingers crossed) dark and chilly but I can't hear the wind so that's good. Curry to look forward to later, more tea now

    The local ripoff merchants were 179/L yesterday (not independents).
    The place was still busy, even though it was closer to 170 just down the road.

    If you want something to wake you up, take a look at the price of heating oil...

    Morning, woke up too early - I blame not drinking last night. Must put that right.

    On the train again but may have to start cycling to work before I remortgage for some super unleaded.

    With fuel duty @ 57.95 pence per litre + 20% VAT, this bunch of Tory scumbags could cut the VAT/duty.
    I appreciate the IR are cashing in on it and I dare say we need that revenue but the price of living is far too high.

    Anyhoo, sycophantic, lying, obsequious, old school tie brigade aside, it's a bit grey and meh today. Forecast was windy but it's not.
    Meeting the other end of the region. Shall I take the bus?

    Had a blue flashing light behind me. Signalled, slowed down and they went woosh past me. Phew.
    Coming back, another flashing blue light and I though I ain't going to be lucky this time. Signalled, slowed down and woosh went past me again. Double phew. They pulled over a Wange Wover that passed me at silly speed and I flashed my lights at him knowing this was a cop hot spot but he ignored me.

    Tired.

    Bloke who is going to get a kick in the scrote has scarpered. He's too fuckingstupid to realise that he's as thick as muck.

    Apart from that, I burnt my chips at lunch

    I didn't get pulled over. That's the main thing.

    If road tax was actually used to fix roads, we would have the best roads in the world.

    I miss the old road tax discs. You used to be able to buy a tax disc holder that had wording round the edge: 'Yes I've paid my road tax, now go fix some ****ing pot holes'

    i thought the money saved by voting Leave was meant to pay for the roads following the EU withdrawing its European wide infrastructure funding?
