A farmer in this area called his dealer to report that his combine harvester wouldn't start. He was told it would start again as soon as he was up to date with the payments!! So happening already, if the story is true that is.
There's a lot of farmers with John Deere kit who are using reverse-engineered code from Ukraine to get round the restrictions on being able to work on their tractors themselves. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/john-deere-tractor-hacks-ukrainian/

Thanks everyone for your concern. First off, I'm OK, I was a bit shaken up though. For those of you that aren’t aware, I was robbed at the petrol station earlier this morning. After my hands stopped trembling, I managed to call the Police. They were quick to respond and calmed me down because my blood pressure went through the roof! My money is gone however. The police asked me if I knew who did it and I told them, “Yes, it was pump number 2.”

I paid £73 for 41Ltrs of E5 at my local BP today - a bargain for the smiles I enjoyed at 23mpg  it's availability not cost is the thing that concerns me tbh..

Fuel has become so expensive that taxi drivers are taking the shortest route.

The rising cost of petrol doesn't concern me as I only put in £20 worth at a time.
