Just back from B&Q with some decking stains. Fun-Fun-Fun
Happened to spot the price of humble paraffin
£6.98 for 4 litres. Not even a gallon
Can anyone explain (apart from us being royally shafted by B&Q) how this can cost so much?
Paraffin doesn't carry the same taxes as petrol, it comes from the same source, OK it's been put into a container - but £6.98! I'm at a loss.
