all is fair in business man, i bet if you had the money to trade in oil you would do the same

Besides its not the raw material price that fuks us over its the damn taxation

I have no problem with business, i.e where someone actually does something to a product and then marks it up and moves it on

What I'm complaining about is the traders just push a button hiking the price of oil whilst it's still in the hold of a ship somewhere in the seven seas.
There is no work, skill or added value to the end product, they are just screwing us

The fact is mate that 70% of our fuel charge is taxation
