Exhorbitant petrol prices

Solar power is a clean form of generation, as are wind turbines though they can be noisy. At the moment they don't put out a great deal of power and are expensive, but most things are (including the electric vehicles themselves) until demand for them kicks off...

YOU may have to pay taxes, but that doesn't mean the operator isn't subsidised. I went for a interview as a bus driver a year or so ago and they told me there that buses were not subsidised like trains and planes. Maybe they were lying?

Such a thought would horrify the government! Do you know how much revenue they'd lose if we all used our cars half as much as we do!? As for moving, few jobs are 'for life' nowadays and unless you live on your own there's a high chance your partner/spouse/co-habitator work too (and probably somewhere totally different) - would you be willing to move in that situation?

And esso/BP supply only their own garages do they? - thy don't supply the supermarkets perhaps?

The message from "Hellraiser" contains these words:

Mostly they're franchises.

Neither do mine. Put my academic qualifications up against yours any day.

Franchisees.

It's noticeable that he hasn't replied to any of the criticism. Some plonker in the caving club I belong to sent me one of these things a couple of years ago. He got quite irate when I told him he was a spamming know nothing.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Raymond" saying something like:

Ah, that clueless idea - again.

That's easily done on the net though - I'm a BSc, MSc, PhD, MCSE, CCNA, CNE, etc etc....

I always thought Shell owned their own and the rest of the companies franchised them?

Quite happy to provide physical proof.

Wonder how my dads mate managed to buy the Shell one at Kirkburn from the previous owner who alos owned the one at Staxton....
