Definitely, as long as you stayed there. 😄
You’d end up being a pisshead though. 1ltr of Bacardi (actual Bacardi) £9.50.

We do a bit of work there and yes it's quite hard to stay sober, a bit depressing in the winter.
Having Monkeys try to break into your hotel room is quite amusing.

Must be like being in Hartlepool.

Probably not as the engine would never get to an efficient temperature.

The vans we've borrowed have got plenty hot. Always amuses me how something with so few miles on it can be so utterly ruined.
Obviously it's not a great place for efficient driving, but where are you going to drive to? You can walk the whole lot pretty easily and then there's the parking or lack thereof.

We live about 200 yards from that Morrisons, I avoid it & would rather pay more at the BP in Ripon.

That would mean driving to Ripon though and that road is always full of bloody cyclists clogging it up 😉

Years ago, filling up my 944 in Andorra. Can't remember the price but I thought the cashier had switched off the pump as it seemed a tiny amount of money for nearly 80l of premium unleaded.

Why anyone would cycle along that road is beyond me. Just go down the back road through Skelton.

Ah, I should probably clarify - I'm in Staveley so it's Burton Leonard way from here.

But yes, Skelton Road is a nice pedal the Ripon Road is decidedly not.

1.90/l in Boroughbridge

Paid 191.9 yesterday in the east midlands (and that was 2p cheaper than the other 2 options in town).
