    Just back from France and fuel prices have dropped about 15% at the pumps.
    Early June 1 litre of diesel was £1.85,  yesterday was £1.60  
    Copilot tells me that's down from $9.20 per US gallon to £8. 

    And for completeness, I filled up in France on Sunday at an equivalent of $7.50

    Petrol is always 10% cheaper than diesel here, it's a kind of pollution offset thing.

    Ten years later @JohnInCarolina - I don't know why they voted for it, now they have there audacity to die and  so not have to deal with the consequences. 

    Arrogant hubris from the Prime Minister meant there was no 'remain' campaign.  Nudge theory by Russia, nostalgia for an imagined past and racism did the rest.

    Well unless I am mistaken the Off Topic forum has been nuked. Admittedly all I replied to lately were the global warming, fuel prices, and music threads in the past few months. I did read Lou’s posts on current events. I wonder about this particular thread.

    To find the Off Topic thread you now have to select Forum List and it appears in the drop-down list.  WTF?
    It's not like exceeding any non-moderated boundaries as far as I know.

    Just as oil prices were dropping:

    Iran strikes cargo ship in Strait of Hormuz

    The Iranian military struck a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, potentially compromising efforts to reopen wide-scale shipping through the key waterway, according to news outlets

    Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singapore-flagged container ship, Ever Lovely, near the coast of Oman, which was attempting to flow through the new route in the Strait of Hormuz advocated by the United Nations maritime agency. 

    The vessel was struck on the starboard side and its bridge suffered damage, but no one on board was injured, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center, which is affiliated with the British Royal Navy. 

    Iranian state media reported that Iran warned that safe passages in the strait, through which about 20 percent of the world's oil and gas flows, are restricted to routes marked by Tehran and that others are dangerous and unacceptable.  

    The attack comes as the traffic in the waterway has gone up. About 70 ships passed through the strait on Thursday, a 105 percent bump from Wednesday, according to Kpler, a data and analytics firm. 

    Of the 70, 53 were commercial vessels with the firm stating that low-risk ships “dominated the day’s profile.”

    Just shows the world who really controls Iran and it's not who we negotiated with.

    And this today: (You can't make this $hit up!)
    Trump proposed having 47 trees near the White House to commemorate himself.
    Exclusive: Trump is pushing for Lafayette Square, which is across from the White House, to have exactly 47 trees to commemorate his status as the 47th presidentMore: Trump wants all the trees to be maples. It’s unclear whether he would remove trees as a part of the effort or how many trees would need to be added.

    Sometimes the Supremes make a most excellent decision.  For me, this is one of them:

    First Dave and Vicky Beckham make it the billionaire club and now I see the Donald is taking all important steps to financial security for if / when he retires.  
    So that's another thing off my worry list.
