Default Re: UK Supermarkets fear supplier meltdown!

a lot of the "high" price of "gas" and "oil"
has a lot to due with it ...
and, many people, pulled back the reigns,
and, said, NO, we will park the trucks

NOW, it appears, the price of gas, has fallen back down

it is still "twice" what it should be

in the UK, you have been raped, on the price of your gas
for, decades -- could NEVER quit FIGURE out
why your costs there, were double/or triple -
what we were paying in CANADA/or the USA for gas
at the same time

and, why, in places like venezula,
you can fill a truck for $10, that, costs $110 to fill it
anywhere else in the world

the oil_sters, are slippery people
and, finally, i think, a lot of other businesses
started to stand up to them
and, force them, to lower the prices

otherwise, it ends up in final cost of everything

every week, i stock up on something else,
and, finally, this week, i went to stock up on one thing,
"sugar in the raw" - and, the supplier
who makes deliveries at home -
limited me, to 12 of them
(a lot of people - do NOT know,
but, if you ask your grocery store,
for case pricing, on items you are buying,
a lot of time, they will give you,
Less 10%, Less 15%, Less 20%, or even Less 25%,
or, even more -- but, NOT if you do NOT ask)
perhaps, something of value
