surely if i wanted to buy crude oil i would still get a favourable exchange rate which would therefore make my purchase cheaper

also bought a trucking mag today and not sure if its true but an article in there seems to partially agree with me althoug it also states that oil prices dropped by 2% for this month (how long till we see a drop on the forecourts???)

need to keep an eye on this as last time round i noticed oil went up esso etc put 1p per litre almost instantly on forecourt prices yet when it dropped it took sodding ages to lower prices

Don't know how to say this WAR .......... they don't give a **** about you
You must understand that the profit is made up of only a small percentage from the forecorts as these only return a modest income, some garages even sell at a loss or so the industry says.
Believe that crap if you like

But it's not cheaper as a dollar is a dollar to them.
Favourable exchange rate = Goverment win
Higher prices = Goverment win

I was worried that you was going to have an accident on that box for all that while.
It is easy if you accept that you are going to give most of your money away in taxes. Look at the good that you are doing with the taxes, theres the, theres, theres the nice grant that the MP's get for decorating / fitting out their second homes.

Default CLUB STICKERS

I have finally managed to arrange some prices for the club stickers They are as follows:

LJP Map Logo - £6
LJP Website address - £4

These stickers will be for outside application on body work and windows, and will be made of heavy duty vinyl. They are available in Black,white,silver,yellow,blue,orange,red and green. I can also arrange for them to be made in carbon fibre and chrome look (Rob), but these will carry an additional charge.

Please PM me with what stickers you would like and in what colour and I will start to get some orders processed, or collar me at Skeg Vegas with your order. All cash will be required upon delivery of your stickers.

Gaz

That may f#ck up my synchronize function, I have it currently set up so that it's simple to update as the program monitors the changes and updates automatically on the press of 1 button.

Typical creative type!
Waits for someone to do the part that requires the most effort and then tries to take over

As one of the founders of LJP i see my role as telling other what to do
I was only going to suggest changing the background colour to white and use a particular font.

Now get back to work!
