    I don’t know why, but I was always led to believe that the price of fuel charged at a supermarket was the same across all outlets within its chain. :-[

    I discovered today that, that is not the case – Sainsbury’s in Bath is 4 pence a litre dearer for diesel than its sister supermarket in Frome. :-?

    Look at the demographic... They expect the good citizens of Bath to be a little more affluent than the Fromeys (and to have fewer fingers too perhaps... )

    Ye Scotty, I was kinda thinking that must be the case. :-[
    ;D
    I’m starting a decorating job in Bath soon. Do you think I would be compromising my socialist beliefs if I put my rates up? :P

    I believe that an extra £20 is not unreasonable if you are paying that much. Swindon is cheaper than that aswell!

    Graeme, I always try and treat people as I would expect to be treated myself. I hope you are not suggesting that the Tories would deliberately rip-off ordinary folk like you and I? :P :P :P : : :

    Trowbridge is 2p more than a few areas. ASDA Longwell Green is cheapest I have found, up to 5p cheaper than anywhere else
