Local petrol station selling Green and Blacks milk chocolate for €65 a kilo.
Thank you. Not just this, but the petrol station stunts with cut price fuel and that ‘raffle’ for a street to have their energy bills paid for a year. Direct financial incentivising imo

Petrol garage is the standard British English term for what Americans call a gas station — a roadside business where you fill up your car with fuel, buy snacks, and occasionally get the tyres checked. The word petrol distinguishes British usage from American, where gasoline is the norm. Petrol garages often also offer basic car servicing, and the attached shop has become a go-to stop for late-night essentials when everything else is shut.
