I think I have discovered a legal way to buy cheap diesel fuel. My work colleague buys diesel from a truck breakers yard in Surrey and gets it for about 80p. Apparently the diesel comes from old trucks that are scrapped. It must be legal, because duty would already have been paid on this fuel. I went down to this yard and the queue for fuel was very long indeed. I could only buy about ten gallons because they had sold out. The staff told me they bring trucks over from the Irish Republic, to be broken up, as they get much more money for scrap in Britain than they do in Ireland. It seems a fantastic way to get round the high prices of diesel in this country.
