    If you can collect up friends and neighbours in a close area i.e. same street and place a large group order the price will drop

    Ordered from Cawoods yesterday - after a bit of haggling they gave me 900 litres for £299, plus a free dipstick.
  • Ordered 1000 litres today 29/10 @ £352. Is this too expensive?? It's not being delivered unti Tuesday, so I could probably ring up Tues a.m. and cancel if you can advise me where is cheaper at the moment?
    Cheers

    sods law - i hold off and hold off and hold off thinking it will come down - then just when I cant hold off any longer I get it and at the highest I've ever seen it - then it drops in price.
    DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY ;)

    No, no Nadnad. It went down because I had just bought it. Same way that it rains as soon as I put out the washing - and when I take the washing in the sun shines again.

    And when i buy something and get it home there's something missing or it's not working.

    Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
