why oh why do we have to continually endure fuel stations selling it by .9 of a penny?

 

Is there any garages out there who have dropped it?

 

I would like to try filling up and the bill comes to say ......9 of a penny, then ask for me change.

 

Don't think the petrol pumps are calibrated to work it out in .9 in any event?

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

They are not going to drop something that makes them money and theres no half pence coins out there to drop it to .5p

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Life insurance? you wont enjoy a penny!

It's just the age-old marketing ploy used by all retail establishments, cos we're all apparently so thick as to think that £6.99 is so much better value/cheaper than £7.00.

 

I always round all prices up in my head anyway.

There's an indy near me who has to compete with the usual supermarkets etc, in order to compete their prices go up and down like a whores drawers.

 

Currently their diesel is 121p per litre, It does often have .9p on the end but it changes regularly.

The are pumps are calibrated by volume, the computer rounds the price down to the nearest penny, the same as the VAT man does. Simples.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

The £2.99 rather than £3.00 was actually introduced to ensure that shop assistants actually had to ring up the sale on the till to get change for the customer, rather than just pocket the whole £3.00.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.
