Fuel Prices

[NewcastleFalcon]

From Fleet News.
Independent fuel stations lead pump price reductions


Never mind crawling around the motorways of the UK as a protest, stop buying as much of the stuff because the price is too high is far more effective.

Filled my daughter's C3 up. Didn't try and find the cheapest place, just the closest to where I was.
I failed to look at the prices.
Failed to see what the total was.
Failed to get a receipt.
Distracted by the ugly Bentyaga

Looked on my fuelprices.com email and had inadvertently selected the cheapest in a ten mile radius, even the same company (Sainsburys).
E10: £1.839/L

[myglaren]

£1.769 at Sainsburys for E10.
Jet station was asking 0ver £2 for the same and £2.08 for Diesel

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else

Pulled into the garage diesel £2.05 per litre, as soon as the nozzle went unto the filler the price jumped up to £2.15
So i went into the garage and asked why he did what he just did to be meet with a change of language from English back to Pakistan to which i replied back chodon tumhy, which seemed to make the garage shut his mouth.

.......... chodon tumhy,....................

[Paul-R]

... i replied back chodon tumhy,

"leave you" ?

[mickthemaverick]

That's what my translation came out as Paul but I simply don't understand the overall scenario!!

[Paul-R]

Perhaps it translates colloquially as a more Anglo-Saxon phrase. Fornicate off perhaps?

[myglaren]

... i replied back chodon tumhy,

"leave you" ?

I translated it from Bangla. Not so polite.

"Go forth and multiply" ?

[Paul-R]

translated it from Bangla. Not so polite.

Indeed it isn't. And very close to what I posited.

[mickthemaverick]

Yes I got the same result translating from Bengali so what we need to know Husky is how much was the diesel after that exchange?

[Huskyxantia]

I didn't bother, i put the nozzle back on the pump , i was watching the attendant doing something to the tills or something connected to the tills the price changed so i went into the shop to ask what his game was he than spoke to me in his lingo so i told him to go fxxx himself in his lingo as taught to me many years ago working on the m25 widening scheme with non english workers whom i did strike up pretty good friendships with .

[Huskyxantia]

Just watch the price on the pump as ive been told by an elderly
Lady it happend to her at a bp station her price was 1.86 it jumped 1.90 for petrol she put the nozzle back and went somewhere else

Next time you see this, take a photo of the sign with the price on it and another photo of the price on the pump - send both to Trading Standards and let them investigate.
