Found this great site recently, it lets you search your area (in the UK) for the cheapest petrol and diesel and shows the results on a map. I use this most weeks with the prices fluctuating so much.
The nearest to me is Tesco and I always thought that was quite cheap, but now I pay 3 or 4p less per litre, and that adds up!

Just as we’re starting to get things sorted in the house, the computer breaks.
Is that typical or what?
And I don’t mean it’s a bit broken, it’s well broken. No Windows, no booting up, not even a beep. even the bios screen dosen’t come up. We’ll that was last week, and I’ve replaced the memory with some old stuff and now it starts to boot Windows, so I suppose the memory is faulty then.
I think that’s quite bad really, that my 64Mb RAM from my old (ancient) PC has lasted longer than my new-ish 256Mb RAM!?
Changing the RAM didn’t solve all my problems though, instead I just got some new ones… Now the PC gives me random BSoD errors at any time before fully booting. I think the initial crash caused by the faulty memory mush have trashed something on my disk, although checkdisk doesn’t pick anything up. That was my initial thought anyway…
A few days on now and I’ve all but given up trying to fix my PC, instead I’ve got my old (yes.. ancient) PC out and put it’s memory back in. So I’m now using a Pentium II 233Mhz… oh yeah. The main drawback of it all is that this PC BIOS won’t recognise my disk, so I’ve had to dig out (you guessed it…) an old one and install Windows on that, of course it doesn’t have any of my files, settings, programs etc 
In the meantime I’m beginning to suspect the processor or motherboard of my normal PC, and so I might just build myself a new one… but I do have an old motherboard hanging about so you never know 
Here’s a website I came across today, it has a scroll/zoom map showing all of the UKs speed camera locations.
I’m sure it can’t have them all but it has all my local cameras shown.
