trailertrash Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 As per title, Fully synth £6/2 litre instead of £12, 5l screen wash £2.49, large WD40 £2.49 and others I can't remember. Looks like they're having a clear out of all sorts of discontinued stuff. Couldn't move for staff and their trollies. I thought they employed night staff to save getting in the way of paying punters! 😡 /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything from a Shell garage is a rip off, in my area (and surrounding areas) they are always the most expensive for petrol/diesel, even worse than BP. £20 for 1 litre is ridiculous even by petrol station standards.

The other Shell Helix was an absolute bargain at £18+ per litre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the "Oh I'd better check my oil while I'm putting a tenner in, I haven't done it for a while.." to the "What's that flickering red light, where's me glasses Doris - Oh blimey that's the oil light - I'd better go to that garage around the corner!" Chances are, if the oil light's flickering, he'll have to buy two at that price. Kerching!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
