It is with deep sadness that we say 'Goodbye' to Alison Best, who passed away earlier this week.

Compared with Petrol......

Compared with Petrol...... Think a gallon of petrol is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective. Diet Snapple 16 oz £1.29 .. £10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz £1.19 ...........£9.52 per gallon Ocean Spray 16 oz £1.25 ....... £10.00 per gallon Brake Fluid 12 oz £3.15 ...... £33.60 per gallon Vick's Nyquil 6 oz E8.35 ... £178..13 per gallon Pepto Bismol 4 oz £3.85 . £123.20 per gallon Tippex 7 oz £1.39 ....... . £5.42 per gallon And this is the REAL KICKER... Evian water 9 oz £1.49..£21.19 per gallon! £21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.) You don't even want to compare it with perfume or after shave. Ever wonder why printers are so cheap? So they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of the ink at................. (you won't believe it....but it is true........) £5,200 a gal... (five thousand two hundred pounds) So, the next time you're at the pump,be glad your car doesn't run on water, or Tippex, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
