Arry 21,616 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just been on the phone to a mate talking fishing and he tell me a mutual mate of ours who is an inshore commercial fisherman is giving up going back on the tools as red diesel has gone up so much he can't make a living. April 1st there is a big jump in duty for red diesel as well. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

low plains drifter 10,394 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 15,000 litres of diesel was robbed locally I hear the night Watchman noticed the syphoning pipe, but assumed some allotmenter was helping themselves to a gallon for their greenhouse heater It's a gas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Sayer 2,417 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 It's all madness. Just all bills going up in general. The electric and gas is scary, in my little business I use a lot of electric and some of the machinery is 3 phase, am dreading it. Also with increased fuel prices and the looming of the clean air bill ( although has been put back for now, but is coming ) running a business is hard work. My little business is in a semi rural area and only a 10 min drive from my house, for work I have a little 1.3 diesel van which I use a tenner a week to get to work and back. But if the clean air charge does go through it would cost me a tenner a day to drive to work WTF £280 a month on top of £40 diesel to get to work every day. My suppliers ate putting raw material costs up. It's gona be a tough year . My other car is a 4.2 v8 so that fecker can stay on the drive for a bit lol.
