And if you argue about the bill they will agree to give you a credit before sending you the same invoice at a much higher price.<br /> Rather than paying at the forecourt you will be required to telephone a special number in Mumbia where a charming and well-educated young man will allow you to listen to a long medley of old hits while he tries to come to terms with the absurd rules put in place by his Imperial employees. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=22987#post-62189 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:23:24 +0000 John Wiltshire 62189@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>BP to sell gas - all its oil is spread over the world's oceans. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=22987#post-62162 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 13:50:23 +0000 greg various 62162@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>British Gas has today announced it is to expand its energy business into the petrol retail market. It will shortly be seeking suitable sites throughout the country and aims to revolutionise the forecourt with an innovative pricing structure.</p> <p>Petrol and diesel will be sold by the litre, according to E.U. regulations, but the customer will be billed by the traditional gallon. The Imperial gallon for loyalty card holders, the American gallon otherwise. The first 343 fl. oz will be charged at a comparatively high rate compared to the much cheaper subsequent fluid inches, at least for the following 23.437 quarts. However, if a firkin or more is purchased the whole will be calculate at the advertised rate per Jeroboam.</p> <p>“We feel that, together with our array of vouchers and promotional offers in combination with our triple fuel deals we will be offering real choice and a uniquely special shopping experience for our customers” said a couple of people who knocked on the door at dinner time. </p>
