BOOB Rant - Rip-Aff Bo'ness

Ah mind ma faithir telln me thit in the aulden days if petrol or diesel went up YIN Pence a GALLON it the Richmond Garage thir wis a major public ootcry.

There are 4.54609188 litres in a gallon.

Tonight I peyed £1.07 fur a litre i diesel it the Richmond. (Even dearer doon the toon).

At Asda in Dunfermline I kin git it for £1.01 a litre.

Simple arithmetic tells us thit in Bo'ness WE ARE PEYIN MAIR THAN 27p A GALLON THAN OOR CIZZINS OWER THE FORTH.

THAT'S A FKN DISGRACE.

The usual excuse is thit its aw ti dae wi the economies of delivery bit they canny yase that excuse in Bo'ness - oor gid citizens refine the stuff in oor ain back yaird. How kin it be cheaper ti take a tanker ti the wilds i Fife thin along the road ti Bo'ness?

WE DEMAND ANSWERS.

Comments please.
