Any question answered...

2 is probably more relevant in my case. Thanks

Just flat. Ruler added for size. They were chucked in with some rack spares (p clips and the like) and are aluminium alloy. But the rack spares thing might just be a red herring / me throwing them in a bag!

Who is the forumer who works (or worked) in Energy- H2O?

I've noticed that very recently petrol prices have spiked up a lot, is this because the drop in Sterling vs the dollar has finally made it's way through the system?

Price of crude oil has just gone up to $80 a barrel. Not sure the cause though. Set to reach $100 by the end of the year

I imagine the Trump and Iran stuff is part of it.

I thought that the energy companies bought a supply for a certain period at a certain price, so shocks such as rapid rises in crude/FX issues took a while to come through. I may have made this up though.

I may have made this up though

To a large extent, you have. While commodity consumers will buy futures, the price of the futures won't necessarily be the same as the spot price on the day they buy them, since the person selling the futures will have an opinion about how the price will move in the future. Also, when that futures contract turns into a delivery, you'll want to sell the commodity on at the spot price on the day of delivery, not the price you paid for the futures contract. There's no point selling it cheaper, partly because that would be plain dumb at any level, but also because you need the profit on contracts where you bought the future for less than it turned out to be worth to offset the losses you make when you called it wrong.

The existence of a futures market has a stabilising effect on the spot price over time, but it doesn't in itself cause any price lag on spot trades. Your pump price is set according to a wealth of factors beyond crude prices, but the element which is directly related to crude prices changes on the same day as crude prices change. There is some apparent lagginess caused by other factors, mostly local market competition causing people to hold prices down to avoid losing market share, in a sort of Dutch auction.

Edit: ^ far more detail than my measly comment about the same

Where can I get 150 black, cheap but not trash, MP3 players in London today?

Tottenham Court Road?

Just wonder if a shop there will have bulk of the same model in stock on premises? Worth a shot I guess. Equally happy to drive out to some warehouse by the M25

Amazon Now?

Can't tell stock levels :/

All needs to be the same device.

Argos?
You'll probably have to call to get stock levels though. 150 of anything may be a shops entire stock.

Maybe look at private sellers on eBay based in London and arrange to collect? Some might have that amount of cheap mp3 players to hand. Plus you then don't have to give Amazon any money.

Might be a multi-stop trip to the various Argos stores across town.

I'll start a thread in the rides forum.

Argos show stock levels across branches online. Or maybe that was Maplins...

Don't mind helping, I'm in Streatham SW2 going to Farringdon for 5pm.

Appreciate it - but think I've found someone. (Original supplier seems to have come through despite ominous radio silence for past week).

Are those SanDisk Clip Sport Plus any good? Was thinking of upgrading my Sandisk Clip.

AGPTEK seem to be a cheaper option.

where can I buy Specialized Myth Sport saddle in 155mm width in London tomorrow?

Evans has them lol

Your birthing hips giving you problems on SMPs these days?

for the missus, wanna buy a power arc in 143mm?

Is it squishy tho?
