 are always telling us how the boys who sell dodgy dodgy - Synonym with flaky. Preferred outside the US  diesel are robbing the taxpayer of money for schools and all the rest of it.

Now the dirty derv merchants have really cost schools a packet after 50 tons of the cat litter they use to filter red diesel was dumped at an education board depot in Coleraine.

It has cost almost pounds 50,000 to clean up the mess which must equate to goodness knows how many school books, interactive whiteboards and all the rest of it that teachers are always crying out for.

But speaking of gangsters, how come a litre of diesel is now just short of pounds 1.10? It's bloody ridiculous and unless the Government addresses crazy fuel prices more people are going to be tempted to buy the dodgy stuff.
