Hi all, A simple question. Why do servos display fuel prices as for example 123.9, why not 124?? Another establishment displays the price as 123.7. Just wondering if anyone could enlighten this poor simple soul!! ??? Cheers

We have just purchased our 'new' caravan and would like to have the option of cooking outside as there is a gas point and a power point available. Any suggestions of what BBQ/cooker to buy and do you set it up on a table or on its own stand?
