The 1970s are calling it wants it pathetic small minded attempt at humour back.

Looks like it's comedy in 2015 too!

Just goes to show if they are making a profit at this price the big boys are still making a killing!

Are you seriously comparing a bit of regional banter to the endemic racism of the 70's?

My word, you really need to lighten up, chap...

And I'm from Manchester.

long way to go for petrol.... and to risk finding my car on bricks when I turn my back to pay.

I've been using costco for diesel for over a year now, doing 14000 motorway miles a year with no more mpg than asda or tesco, but it's cheaper so I will still use it.

Alright eh calm down, calm down.

Voted hot but why is it that whenever a price drop of 2-3% on fuel is posted it goes red hot, yet if this price drop was posted for anything else it would go freezing cold?!!!!!!

there's a lot of snobbery when it comes to buying petrol. the vast majority of it's the same stuff unless you're going for a different octane %.

Not even close Car Crime Statistics for the last 5 years.

Iran called, they want their sense of humour back.

Strangely enough when people used the N word or the P word in the 70s and 80s and were pulled up about they used to say it was only a bit of banter and a laugh. It isn't funny and is pretty pathetic to be honest.

although being as high as 8th in that list is nothing to be proud of... hardly the worst and only slightly higher than the national average

Voted hot. I'm still waiting for Costco Leeds to build a petrol station!

Literally??

You are very naive to compare these two topics.

it is racism. Racism "can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities"

Still wondering how petrol saving turned into an argument about racism.

Gotta love HUKD :smile:

It's not racism...its character building... As we are using definitions here is moron: A person who is considered foolish or stupid.

I wouldn't even bother with taking the statistics seriously as they are probably inaccurate anyway

calm down. calm down..... dont let banter take you back to the dark 70's, lets move on :smiley:

I'm a scouser and that is actually quite funny:D

We don't mind a bit of banter and novel humour. It's the tired old repetitive Harry Enfield, eh eh clam down, thieving scouser 1980's jokes which make people look like idiots.

Did you even read that quote you used?

Can I recommend that anyone with preconceived ideas about Liverpool should pay a visit to Liverpool 1 for a day.

Sorry guys - any chance we could possibly get back on topic. This was a deal about cheap fuel remember. I've used Costco fuel a few times, they call it "Premium Fuel", not sure it's on a par like BP ultra etc, but to me it seems fine.

'Premium' - the fact it's that cheap it can surely but as good at least as standard bp

... and the tyres to go with them. And car batteries if you are really unlucky. And I have seen car fire extinguishers there too.

So you can be very prepared for your fuel fill up

Nice find op

​Alright mate calm down.

Sorry!

I think if you talk to Scots, Irish etc they're a bit fed up with being stereotyped as well......but it doesn't stop people doing it and thinking it's funny.
Sadly, there was such a fuss many years ago about thieving in Liverpool that the image will be around for years, so just get used to it like the rest of the UK's regions have to.

People need to calm down, calm down.

As a Welshman if I had a quid for every time I've been told that I fornicate with sheep...

Nothing to get upset over. Regional banter.

Strangely enough, if you call an Irish person 'paddy' or a scots person 'jock', you're unlikely to be branded a racist by the media and arrested by the thought police, so why have some recent arrivals to our shores been given more rights in law than the original population....... ? Seems guaranteed to cause bad feelings, which is possibly the desired long term aim of the real manipulators.

Stop being offended by everything

I think we've just embraced it now! :stuck_out_tongue:

Coincidentally, I'm from Swansea...

I was there the other day. Nice marina.

Actually its only scousers that think the joke belongs in the 70s. The rest of us are happy to continue taking the **** :smiley:

Very good point :smiley:

on it like a bonnet cheers for heads up op

Yes you scousers, stop calling me a plastic Manc.

Speaks volumes about the education standards in this country.

Is that price VAT. able??? As a footnote some years ago was on the way to court in Liverpool to have my licence taken away, and whilst I was there with my wife.....mt briefcase and new suit were pinched. The Police thought it hilarious.

LUCKY LIVERPOOL - 1st TO HAVE A COSTCO AND SECOND TO HAVE SUCH A REALISTIC PRICE FOR FUEL !! STILL £1.10 HERE IN NORTH PRESTON (COUNTRYSIDE) !!!

Where's Liverpool?




[attempt at perpetuation] :smile:

It is the same price at the new Costco petrol station in BRISTOL also.
