[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]A "gas" station near me sold unleaded for £0.129 a liter yesterday at the self serve pumps. Sadly they fixed it back to £1.29 when they wondered why they were suddenly so popular).[/QUOTE]Off topic (not that anyone around here seems to worry)-- £1.29 a lit? That sounds like about US$8.00 a gallon. And some like the news media think we "got it bad' @ $4.039/USga (that's what I paid on Mar 31). Of course, "over here" that error would not have gone unnoticed for long as all gas stations (anywhere to my knowledge) are required to have an attendant on duty; not so as I recall in the UK. No wonder BR (I can't keep track of the successors) fares seem sky high to me. If the "Midland Pullman" were still around (that was "quite the ride" during 1986), I'd hate to think what its fare would be today (make the Acela look like a Chinatown Bus?). [/QB][/QUOTE]
