Petrol still most reasonably-priced thing at service stations

DESPITE rising petrol prices it remains the only item at motorway service stations an average family can reasonably afford. 

A litre of unleaded from RoadTheft now currently costs an average of 164.08p, 235.02 less than a Mars Duo and 435.02 less than a Traditional Cornish Horse Perineum Gutster’s Pasty.

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “However remorselessly oil multinationals sodomise the motorist, it’s nothing compared to the blobs of evil, treacly filth that operate the nation’s motorway rest stops.

“The total lack of competition gives these febrile hell-pits peddling the shittest of shit the right to charge prices that, at first, are taken for hallucinations.

“They’re so intensely and viciously levied they’re the only place foul enough for WH Smith to still thrive – them, train stations and bloody airports.”

Emma Bradford said: “I left my son at the pick ’n’ mix unsupervised. His selection cost £289.83 for three sickly bananas, a few shrimp and a littering of Smarties.”

A spokesperson for the Wealthy Break motorway services chain said: “Any issues with individual outlets can be addressed to the manager, whose contact number and gormless, dead-eyed face is clearly advertised by the bogs.”

Man holds whichever opinion is most likely to get him laid

A MAN’S values and worldviews lean towards whichever ones stand the best chance of resulting in sex, it has emerged.

28-year-old Martin Bishop’s political, economic and social outlooks are not based on his own independent conclusions, but instead whether they make him appear desirable to the opposite sex.

He said: “It’s liberating. Rather than having to process information and judiciously reach a verdict on controversial topics, I simply think to myself: would it turn women off if I agreed or disagreed with this?

“Take the situation in Gaza. It would take me weeks to unpack what’s going on there and formulate my own assessment. Instead I just condemn Israel because they bomb children’s hospitals. Women love it when you look all paternal.

“The same goes for everyday dilemmas too. My decisions on what to wear, where to eat, and which career to pursue are all based on how likely they are to result in some bedroom action. I’m confident this approach will start working one day.

“It may sound like a spineless way to live a life, but don’t judge me. Every single man you know does it. You really think we enjoyed the latest Bridget Jones movie? Get real.”

Woman Emma Bradford said: “Martin’s lucky that us women are a monolith who all share the same opinions on everything. Otherwise he’d have no idea what to believe.”
