imlach you own a Scoob, my diesel gets over twice the mpg as your car, so I can afford to go for a burn now and again

And who says I even want to bring children into this fe*ked up world (nowt to do with the depletion of fossil fuel btw) never mind grandchildren?

Chill out and go polish that car sitting in your drive, I bet thats all its used for with your holier than thou save the planet stance, LOL <--- thats me laughing all I like btw, as I have I didnt have a sense of humour by-pass when I joined SN

4pm, byeee........

I bet Imlach will argue anything
Nice idea about the patents- however when any bright spark has an idea on alternate powered vehicles, along comes Mr oil company and offers £1m+ (which lets face it is a lot of money to a hot shot student) and buys the patent.
Just imagine a world without oil or religion- what the hell would anyone fight wars about?

Assumptions again? I don't own a Scoob I used to own one.

And who says I even want to bring children into this fe*ked up world (nowt to do with the depletion of fossil fuel btw) never mind grandchildren?
That's no reason to justify going around being wasteful....

I think you'll find that whose who REALLY know me know more about my sense of humour than you do

See, there you go again, why are you on the attack against someone who cares about the planet? What exactly is wrong with that? Got something you're guilty of perchance?

How, exactly, does being less wasteful of resources equate to :

a) being elitist
b) being upperclass
c) living comfortably

I use my car less than I used to nowadays, but I'm failing to see how that is elitist or upperclass??

Elitist would be somebody that rises above all this, doesn't give two hoots what anyone else thinks, wastes petrol, and has a "screw the planet" stance surely

asked Shell about prices in the mk area and this was there response.

Thank you for your recent e-mail concerning fue prices in the Milton Keynes
area.

Shell continues to offer highly competitively priced fuels. We have kept prices
as low as possible for as long as possible but given the recent rise in crude
prices this is having an impact on our prices at the pump.

Pump prices are also the result of many other factors including taxes, refined
product prices, exchange rates, distribution and operating costs, as well as
local competition and these all play their part in determining the final pump
price.

Shell always seeks to be competitive in every local market. We are continuing to
monitor the situation closely and each site will adjust prices as required.

Yours sincerely

copying from the same hymm sheet as BP et al me thinks
