I went past a petrol station last night where the price was strangely high - almost 150. I didn't even connect the dots until now. Shameless.

Last time I filled up it was 142, went past tesco earlier and was 149.5 ..bugger I need to fill up

Hadn't even entered my head either but as it happens I filled up yesterday afternoon but that's because I needed to. Didn't even look at the price as I was near Asda which is one of the cheaper ones. Just checked receipt and it was 145.7. It was 142 something last time.

Kyiv is the anglicised spelling of how Ukrainians say and spell the name of their capital.
Kiev is the Russian version and stems from when it was part of the USSR.
Calling it Kyiv seems like the right thing to do at the moment.
A few people must have been wondering, they gave the explanation on C4 last week after they went from the old Kiev to Kyiv. Won't be the same having Chicken Kevs.
