Oh good, I was beginning to worry.

Lovely day in London today. Was driving about which is slightly worry ing as I've got to fuel up soon. That brings the fuel price rise home when you start worrying about whether you can afford it.

I should have switched the company card from Esso years ago. But now Esso has been getting out of Finland. All the stations were sold to SOK - a big supermarket chain, and SOK sold a few of them off to ST1 - a Finnish independent that specializes in unattended automat pumps. So my new card is ST1.

The prices at ST1 are a bit cheaper, but I can't recall what they are now.
