Can't drink fuel, even if it is EUR 1.13 !!

Best recipe for current crisis.....save money by (1) not buying newspapers, & (2) not watching TV, and the horrors will blissfully pass us by !

Bugger, can't resist.....must re-engage !!

For those of use still with 1 foot on small sinking island....if we spend more time in PT, we benefit from 'pound cost averaging' for fuel and wine !!
