Fuel up/down again

Song and dance, says the man with more than double the posts in this thread than the second highest poster. You just took it too literally when someone said no profit is made on the forecourt when you made your irrelevant X oil company makes X million pounds per hour comment. No one is suggesting that not a single penny is made but whatever the profit is, it accounts for a small amount of the overall profit. Come on Biohazard, I'm an idiot with a crappy wee car and I can understand this, why can't you without getting in a hump about it?

That entirely depends ... the oil companies make their profits on the forecourt (well or on the oil markets), but the actual station is generally not part of the oil company though ... so the profit for the station owner is much smaller.

There is little point in arguing over who makes a few extra pence profit between oil co. and station ownership .... it is the government that is responsible for 2/3rds of the cost of fuel

What has a song and dance got to do with community contribution?

I also suggest you learn to count Janesy.

He said UK retail petroleum market, not profit on the forecourt.

You can't comment on the relevence of my comment, you can't even count let alone discern tone so why should I listen to any more of your nonesense?

And then the fuel company pays tax on that 1/3rd of the pump price anyway as it's revenue. Direct your bile at the government, not Shell or Jet

Don't you mean dredge it in gleefully? Something like £1.5Million profit an hour.

I'd say they were as bad as each other.

Petrolium companies are not your friend.

I would say there was relevence Janesy.

Because in his tone, I felt there was a defence of the oil majors.

I was suggesting that this was misplaced.

You and everyone by the looks of it completely missed my point etc.

I can't even be bothered with this anymore.

Janesy, you half get it. Go read again you might totally get it.

react like a scorned child ranting and raving

Go away.

Here is a clue, stop talking ****

Oh here we go, moron of the day.

ARHARHAHRAHRARHHGHG morons.

You are a dick, check it.

I don't really care for my credibility Fox, especially when arguing the toss with drivelling idiots?

No, you talking **** and passing it as gold plated fact.

This place is full of idiots and morons, it's only the truth.

Not got a crappy wee fiesta to be bodging anyway?

You're following me around like a pedo

Yes, **** off.

Are we going to do this stupid game until you realise you aren't getting a head to mount above the dinning table, and you're going to have to give up?

Balls to you all quite simply, it's not that simple.

Nor do they offer to suck you off behind the bike sheds either.

Well I think you should keep your sighs to yourself before you get my boot.

Tell someone who gives a toss.


...what was that about ranting and raving? :o

That's because there was, he was saying it's not the fault of oil majors that we have such ridiculous fuel prices as they take such little money from it. Which was perfectly correct and you've even agreed with this through the course of discussion, I believe you used the term 'threadbare' to describe it.

What they make elsewhere is besides the point unless you expect them to subsidise the cost of fuel.

They're certainly not 'as bad as each other' when compared to the government concerning why fuel prices are such a joke.

Here's an idea.

You get half the village idiots from a subforum deliberately misunderstanding, misquoting, misdirecting and ignoring you (and a few from outside jumping in for the lolz)... select the replies from about half a dozon pages of discussions with said idiots.

See how often you get ****ed off. ;)

Half of them are replies to stupid questions, so you get a stupid answer.

Why is do one not on your list? :)

I obviously missed 'do one' in my quick skim through, there are probably others too ;)

Even now though, you just can't refrain from calling everyone idiots can you? You could probably search my entire 4,000 post history though and not find anywhere near the number of comments you've provided in this thread, regardless of who i've been talking to and how they've been discussing things.

No, people are rational people with no personality problems at all.

When it comes to posts page 8 circa to about a page ago, yes there was a few idiots and idiotic comments, comical misunderstandings etc.

What do you want me to say?

I'm a furious man to you, a bunch of people in here are idiots to me?

Do I win an award? I'll even let you name it.... ;)
 
It has to be loss making, and its undercutting the big ones on the main routes by as much as 3pence.

I know why the supermarkets do it in both situations. Conversly, I worked at a tesco years ago, dalkeith, very big store covering a large part rural area. Store took £0.5m a week, the petrol station £0.75m. Consistantly. Only reason being, it was the last petrol station in edinburgh really going out on the A7 (big road for us out that way).

It is a fickle business. But there is profit.

This Tesco is usually 1p or so more than other Petrol stations. I'll ask what their current turn over is when I pop in tonight:D

That's you, and you are clearly a very nice person then aren't you. Or I'm a colourfull person, and you're dull?

Either which way I'd either RTM it or get over it. A lot of the time, even in the most chilled of moods, people misconstrue my words into 'you are in a rage' anyway so what difference does it make? My writing style rarely changes, so I put it down to everyone being tone deaf :D

Given I was making a small point what I took was the defence of certain companies, to then be told I'm stupid and don't know what I'm talking about... to then everyone jumping on to a second missunderstanding then what.....? Pages of nonesense.

******** to it, if you're an idiot you're an idiot just like I'm everything everyone in here says I am.

:)

Did you guys miss my post? I won't warn again. Cool off or you'll be magically disappearing for a few days!

I didn't, but I can't stop replying when people keep posting! Grrr.

"I'm cool", but I can't lay off if it isn't happening the other way. ?

:( Bye. :D
