What's to moan about?
Successful British company makes a bigger profit on the back of higher sales. Some badly needed good news and some equally badly needed corporation tax receipts.

My point exactly, but there'll be a PHer along soon wailing about the price of petrol, the oil companies ripping us off, etc...

I'm just suprised it's taking so long - there must be a lot else in the news today to wail about - Woss & Bwand perhaps?

Great news! Our biggest contract Offshore!

Great news, the extra tax they'll pay will make up for that not paid by the banks.

If BP made that much on the expanded returns of a temporary high in fuel prices, just imagine what Gordon has made!!!!

The profits by forecourts is irrelevant in comparison to the govt. tax.

Nope. I hold BP

Ditto, looking forward to a decent dividend to make up for the fall in share prices!
