I agree, it certainly pays to plan ahead. Most if not all airports have a free water fountain just through security, I always take an empty drinks bottle with me and fill up.

They also do 3 for £8.00 on quiches, pork pies, sausage rolls and the like. I’ve bought packs of three big pasties, a quiche and a pack of sausage rolls for £8.00. The same thing in Lidl was £11.50

Why am I FORCED to walk the yellow brick road through duty free ? What if there is ever a fire or need for mass evacuation. ??

If we are to be granted duty free discounts on yet more stuff we don't need...just give us a fucking voucher

What is the point of an aeroplane loading up with duty free goods to fly half way round the world and back again , it just burns more fuel and is a safety hazard

"prices will always go up, even the current conflict in Iran raising the price of petrol, when it all ends, if it does, the price will drop but it won’t drop to what it was before the war started, everyday products are constantly on the rise, back when i first got my own flat, a weekly shop averaged £25, these days that’s shot up to £125 - £145 🤷‍♂️

When covid hit and the price of fuel went from £1.10-1.20 a litre to £1.70-190 everybody moaned. They were ecstatic when it dropped back down to ONLY £1.30. It wasn’t that to begin with ffs

30 odd years ago I used to work at a motorway service station, south Mimms on the M25. I remember when people complained when the price changed from 49.9 a litre to 50.9. And that was expensive with it being on the motorway lol oh to go back to those prices now.

People will always complain about fuel prices but the sad truth is we have to pay them if we want to run our cars etc etc

My gaffer always complains about paying the diesel prices for our work vans and I’m like sorry but it’s part of offering a delivery service to your customers 🤷🏻

Like you say how nice would it be to go back to the prices from 30 years ago 😊

I remember when it was 2 bob a gallon!"

Yes, when they changed from pricing fuel in the UK from gallons to litres... that's when the profiteering on prices and fuel tax started with a vengeance!

I live in London and I don't care how much a pint is, it has no effect on me at all.
