Some bright spark at the Dept for Transport announces that to save motorists money, they are going to put up signs along the motorway advising the fuel prices at the next following service stations.
Doh! They been doing that for years on the Autoroutes in France.
Does it save money?
Doubtful.
They would be better off telling you the cost of fuel at the next supermarket just off the motorway. You can save a lot more money that wy.
For example. Michaelwood services on the M5 was 138.9 for unleaded yesterday, the next services heading south is Gordano which was 137.9. However in Asda at Cribbs causeway (between the two named services, and literally a few hundred yards from the mtorway junction) it was 128.7!
You can tell it's getting near to election time when...
Politicians start being seen on the street and kissing babies
