I was watching question time last night about the Iranian war (no mention of Ukraine I notice they've dropped off the radar again)

The problem is very straight forward,   The Americans are our friends........but Trump isn't.

Found fuel finder on line, gives you the prices virtually daily about which petrol station is selling at a fair price.

Morrisons halfway is £133.9 p/ltre which is on average 7p a litre less than round here, I think the cheapest round here is the petrol station on newbold road up near Highfield Lane.

Yes O.C. I went to town the day after it opened and found that Tesco was using up LESS than 30% of the whole building, it's the equivalent of living in a 3 bedroomed house and just using 1 room,


Just called for a couple of items this morning, I was in and out in less than 2 minutes, I think the security guard thought I was shoplifting, as I didn't buy anything because they hadn't got what I wanted.
Now that I've been in the shop I think my statement {above} about only living in one room was grossly exaggerated, after being inside the shop living in a 3 bedroomed house and just living in the PANTRY would be a fairer description.

Tesco have not done themselves any favours, it's a rubbish shop with a lot less stock than the old one carried.

Sainsburys petrol at Crystal peaks today cars were lined up at the pumps and I didn't realise till tonight the significance of it, the Iran war and petrol prices.

Went past Morrisons at Halfway on the way back and the fuel was £126:9p. I bet it won't be that tomorrow, I'll have to get some before it runs out.

No doubt toilet rolls will be next.....remember that!!

So Trump is now kicking the cr*p out of Iran, it's all right for him he doesn't have to live next door.

Getting rid of a bad regime is not a bad thing but as recent history has proven it leaves a void that usually gets filled by someone ten times worse, ISIS for example will no doubt fill the void then we're back to square one.

Plus we will end up taking in Iranian refugees.

One of those new bins will just fit nicely into a ginormous pothole just on the entrance to our estate.

I can't understand why it's still there, it's one of those that's so deep hitting that would fetch your tyre off, and the laughable thing is the number of council vans using that road daily to get on and off the estate you'd think something would have been done.

The Council hasn't any excuse, I looked on Google maps for that stretch of road and using the "see earlier dates" went back as far as 2009 for the same stretch and apart from a couple of small holes here and there it's never been this bad.

Yes O.C. I went to town the day after it opened and found that Tesco was using up LESS than 30% of the whole building, it's the equivalent of living in a 3 bedroomed house and just using 1 room, it doesn't look very welcoming with two "derelict properties" either side. The only upside is the druggies and drunks don't have far to go now to shoplift.

I notice that once again Eyres old store and now the old Wilko store are being lined up for flat conversion, they may as well as no "sane" company would open a store in Chesterfield.

When I read the Tesco was moving to M&S empty building I was under the impression they were expanding and taking the whole building ? But I'm told that's not correct - they just have a small part of it?
What's that all about
