I heard from a diesel burning friend, although they have a sign up saying 29p per litre, they actually charge 33p per litre. Can this be true? If so, must be no.1 rip off!

Wouldn't know about that, but lets face it, it is Poole. The price of unleaded is not advertised, even on the pump display, which I thought was illegal. I only took on the fuel to get back up the river to Ridge. Normally I won't touch the fuel barge with,err.... a barge pole!!

They wouldn't take plastic for the petrol I took on, mind you it was Amex. Maybe they don't take that.
