    Met him in Meadowhall today, I was just walking around and spot him sat down on a bench. Asked for a pic with him then started chatting to him for a bit. He told me about Cranie signing on, I'd not been on here so didn't know he'd signed on. He says all lads are confident for next season. He was sporting a pair of converse too the trendy fecker. :)

    Around where we live $3.49 a gallon
    When we go to Ocean city MD. We drive through parts of Delaware and theres no tax there so you can get fuel for about $3.10 a Gallon, We always fill up either on the way there or back and sometimes both.

    I want to know what else Perks was wearing. Flicker lovingly referred to him as 'a freak' at the Lamproom :)

    $3.50 a gallon, so that's 92 cents per litre, which is 60p. We're paying owt from £1.30 to £1.40. So more than double.

    A US gallon is 17% less than what we call a gallon...we are still getting shafted though. It's the same across Europe though, our petrol is far from the most expensive in the world but again that's still no consolation.

    Suppose you've got to consider that journeys in the US tend to be a lot longer as well given the how vast the country is so the monthly "gas" bills are probably about the same as here.

    I heard that. I unearthed my genuine US made red Chuck Taylors a couple of years ago still in perfect nick, over 20 years old. I have a feeling they would have been worth a bit if I'd still had the box, but I didn't so I've been wearing them. Still in perfect nick as well, unlike the modern Vietnamese ones which generally last about two years max before disintegrating - which is pretty crap considering I can only wear them over here for 6 months of the year at a push!
