 Fuel Prices - Bromptonaut
Just returned from the Western Isles (Lewis/Harris) where at some sites petrol was more than diesel although both are in the mid £1.80ies.

Thought at first it was an oddity when using the automatic pump at An Clachan in Leverburgh which dispenses by money rather than volume. You select an amount on the console together with fuel type and it delivers (say) £20 worth. Precautionary purchase on Sunday when no shop or filling station on Harris is actually open.

It was though similar at the filling station just off the mountains ad Aird Asaig and on Lewis. A newish filling station there, named Engerbrets, opens on Sunday. In a place where one is not supposed to hang out washing on a Sunday that's a big step.

The lady in the crafts shop at Bac, who also opens on Sunday, told us Mr Engerbret is ex Norwegian Special Forces and was not intimidated by the Free Church's insistence on observation of the Sabbath. It's also said that lockdown has begun to ease the influence of the (several) Free Churches, on locals.

We did though see several elderly ladies scurrying off to church with bibles and prayer books gathered under their arms on the Eye last Sunday; tradition is not yet lost completely.
