To be fair, I'd do the same thing if I were him. If anyone called me a bad person, I'd go off crying...all the way to the bank! It's just business. RE: Oil Price Rising - Highlander - 10 February 2013 One of the main concerns for people here though is that its the same filling station that people like the coast guard and any other emergency services use to fuel up,... they don't get any special rates,... so you could say its business, or you could say its greed possibly putting lives at risk RE: Oil Price Rising - Scythe13 - 10 February 2013 (10 February 2013, 21:54)Highlander Wrote: One of the main concerns for people here though is that its the same filling station that people like the coast guard and any other emergency services use to fuel up,... they don't get any special rates,... so you could say its business, or you could say its greed possibly putting lives at riskTotally agree. But can't these organisations get extra funding from the gov? I remember Warrington got a load of cash extra for fuel to cover the cost during the shortage (taught some of the police BJJ, and they were telling me about it).

I have no idea,.. possibly RE: Oil Price Rising - Scythe13 - 10 February 2013 For me, I'd go for the profit still. But maybe would discount the emergency services....but not too much! Still need a profit off them too. After all, 80% of each pound spent goes to tax anyway, so I'm just getting my money bak off them haha. Tax on fuel is probably more than 80%, but I said 80 as a quick quess. |
