seen them in newry armagh road on SUNDAY around 6.30pm, they have no shame!
Was stopped by them last night, they are saturating the border at present. They are more concerned with Vehicle registrations I think.

if they were on the broder they will move to the bridges and the YMCA at drumahoe after lunch.
great thread, keep her updated for the lads!
A friend of mine has moved across the border last year but still drives his Northern car, what does this friend need to do to avoid detection?
keep his northern licence and when stopped give his northern address, this will work in most cases especially when you have a northern accent.
Most times they get you because one of your neighbors reports you or picking your kids up from school

Is it ok to have an old address on your license? He was stopped last night going back home and was able to bluff his way out of it, sorta worried about him getting stopped on the way to work in the morning. Harder for me - sorry him - to explain where he is coming from at that time of the morning.
Good thread alrite tho I remember a case here recently of a driver before the court for flashing his lights to warn motorists there was a road block ahead :o

My friend was flashed at last night too by a very nice fellow driver, but as soon as he got round the corner the hoors were already there.
My friends big problem will be if they turn up at his house. Is there some spoofing you can do about not being a full time resident of the property if you still have an address in the north?

It is nice to see someone so concerned for their friends.
Doogie, If your friend own his car for more than six months before he made the move south of the border, he can now get the plates changed for free.

They can check you tax records (they can do this at the side of the road while you wait) and this will tell them where you live and work.
If you are stopped at the side of the road you can sometimes bluff them if you have a northern licence and a northern accent, they will not check the details.
If they turn up at your house they generally have been told where to go and at that stage you are f**ked
What - are you lads supporting organised crime by using illegal fuel?
you are thinking of washed diesel Hardy (which by the way is not generally detected by road blocks)
the proceeds of green and red diesel does not benefit organised crime
Ah - thanks.
Used to do serious miles travelling to work and would have filled the car with either green or red for about 3 years and thankfully never got stopped. Wouldn't dream of it now though.

My uncle was pulled over for it a few years back. I was sure he got points. He told the peeler the driver of the other car was his mate. They asked for the mates name and address to verify the story. This is where it all fell apart...
Sounds like bullshit to me. How can they prove you were flashing your lights to warn someone of impending police activity - and not just because you're an eejit. Maybe they can give you a driving citation - but otherwise it'd be a bit like a cop just arresting someone who was looking in the window of a shop because they thought they were going to rob it.
Could not stick I imagine.

problem is , with the RUC, they dont have to prove you are guilty, you have to prove you are innocent ;-)
I heard a story once about a boy from Maghera who was done for something similar to the flashing lights story.
He was out walking along the road and passed a speed trap. As soon as he was out of sight he starting flagging away like fcuk and behaving like an amadan. Peelers heard him and lifted him. He got a fine. I'll get his name tomorrow.
There as a programme on radio Ulster, Talkback I think it as and there were people who rang in to say they had been fined for flashing lights going away fom speed traps.
It seems it's tre enough.
I would share the skepticism about how they can prove you were trying to warn someone, but I have no sympathy for those who, assuming its true, get caught doing so. I certainly wouldn't warn anyone. If you don't want to get caught speeding or using farm diesel or whatever, then don't f**king speed or put farm diesel in your car! The rules are the same for all of us.
That's a bit harsh does no harm to help others out in these difficult economic times! I'm sure many on here have been helped by someone flashing the lights

No question, but what is the point in having a police force out on the roads then? They're out there to protect the public. If someone gets pulled over and fined for some violation, he'll think twice about doing it again. Might just save a life or prevent an injury too.
More in relation to the diesel (use the regular stuff myself) don't really see what damage is being done to the general public from lads using tractor diesel more a problem for government revenue! Wouldn't want to see somebody get a big fine if I could help them out is all I'm saying.

Well let's hope at least that the lad you save isn't relying on the government in any way!
They'll be treated the same by the government regardless of what fuel they use in the car! I doubt lost revenue from diesel caused the current problems!

Is`nt there a song about this subject? Seamus Moore I think, sang it. It`s called Flash the lights at me. Maybe ths dippers and fuzz have just heard of it and thought what a good idea to catch some hardened crimnals. They can`t catch the real ones. ;D

The problem is, almost every charge sticks in the District Court (down here and I'm sure the system is similar up there). The lower court is just a fast-track processing system for almost automatic fines. The judge believes whatever the policeman says and fines/sentences as he fees like. You have an automatic right of appeal, but that costs money, so most people can't/don't bother to take it further.
That's a long-winded way of saying it's a bullshit charge that wouldn't stick in a higher court, but 90% of the time it won't get to that court.

I've seen them have a couple of unmarked cars a half a mile down the road either side of the main checkpoint. Catches anyone that tries a late U turn. Sneaky f**kers.

what if the car you flash turns out to be a cop car!! I'd agree with Hardy, whilst it should be impossible to make it stick the guards tend to lie when in the box in the lower courts, the judge accepts his/her evidence and that's that, unless of course you appeal wherein you'd probably get off since it's an odds on shot that the paperwork will have been fcuked up.

Surely the court does not have to prove intent if you are nabbed for a road traffic violation. It is enough for the court/police that you have violated a code.
There must be some road traffic law which relates to illegal use of the high beam or a failure to dip lights and carries a small fine.
Mickey Mable was his name.
Was stopped one day on my way home from Jordanstown by the dippers. I had about a quater full tank of the jungle juice left and they proceeded to use the sqeezey bottle to try and get some out of the tank. For some reason the bottle wouldn't lift anything, after about 15 minutes of trying they let me go on. I thought I was done for that day but haven't look back since, still runnin on it.
20 odd cars were siezed in Donegal on Wednesday alone, mostly due to registration issues.
The governments should simply get rid of red and green diesel and tax all diesel at the same rate.
the farmers would love that ;)

but this probably wouldn't be a road traffic violation, it's more akin to aiding and abetting or something like that. Re the use of the high beam etc, it's not illegal in any way and is actually encouraged on safety grounds (now there's something they should be pulling more people up on, those eejits who persist on driving with no lights on when visibility is below par, and they're normally in silver cars ???).
Folks, great thread – As I mentioned before I live in the States now and I believe a case came up here a few years ago regarding the light-flashing and warning folks of police checks – As far as I know the individual got off as he was “exercising his free-speech rights” – Good luck with that one in the North at least
As regards the dodgy diesel – When I was a wee lad in Violet Hill (Newry) a boyo from near Rathfriland and I realized that we could make our fortune as teenagers if we could get the red dye out of agricultural diesel and turn it clear like regular taxed diesel without changing its chemical make-up. With a little help from a chemistry teacher (since deceased) we were able to do so, but the process was extremely slow and not viable on a large scale.
Also on the subject of diesel, the first time I heard the expression “Now we’re sucking diesel” as in – “Now we’re going great guns” came from a very good friend of mine who was involved in the Civil Rights, became a well respected barrister, player for Armagh and was a native of South Armagh. I always chuckled at the connection between the expression and his home area. Maybe there was some experience of it in his area?
;)
I'd guess the origin of the term suckin' diesel came from some people of ill repute and deed who ventured out after dark with a few large jerry cans and a tube, intent on relieving good folk of their honest bought fuel reserves from their cars. After a few ill fated attempts, some which ended in sucking horrible toxic petrol and spitting it out, they finally get a car with diesel in the tank. One turns around to his accomplice and says with a fuel soaked grin, 'now we're suckin' diesel'.

Not where I'm from J70. As far as I can see they are out to gain revenue for HM government. Speed traps on straight main roads where if you are doing 72 in a 60 you are caught where as you could fly past a country primary school at 60 in a 30 all day and never get caught. Where is a fatal accident more likely? Where are the most fines more likely......

i know in australia the price is the same, then its up to the indivual/company to claim back in tax returns any diesel used for agricultural purposes- not sure how much they can claim.
doesn't seem a bad idea
They did talk about doing that, but i doubt they'll bother. While NI is rural and theres plenty of access to agricultural diesel, its the exception throughout the UK, it'd just raise a lot of hackles for not much benefit, not to mention the extra expense of claims. Thats on top of the fact that lads would claim for every receipt they got their hands on, and it'd be difficult to prove they hadnt used it for legitimate farming purposes. Would cost more in the long run.
Main street - petrol doesnt taste much worse than diesel. In the era you seem to be harkin to, the vast majority of cars would have been petrol anyway. I've always assumed it comes from getting a hard-to-start tractor, going.... ;)
Is it an urban myth that dodgy diesel harms some engines?
No
Used to be the likes of a 305 Pug would have run on anything you gave it, but todays injection systems along with the high pressure fuel pumps are alot more fussy. If theres not enough lubrication in the fuel, the fuel pump(s) will fail early and dirt/water in the mix will trouble for the injectors
Both parts are a clean fortune.

This wasn't due to them using dodgy diesel OTG, they were nabbed I presume because they failed to pay duty on the vehicle they are driving by not declaring it as an import from the North, I once sold a car to a lad from Westmeath & the duty he had to pay was in access of 8000 yoyo's he told me, so you can see why it pays those who are dodging the import duty to keep their vehicles registered in the North.

I have had a long-running series of issues with the injection system in my car and the first question the mechanics asked was "where do you get your diesel"? As Skull says anything in the fuel injection system of a diesel car is expensive to fix (£100s/1000s).
Off course I forgot just because you read it on the internet it must be true. :P

Im on the clear diesel now though, i have seen the way of God and have turned over a new leaf. I will abide the law now at all times. You should do the same after you pay the £1000 fine & criminal record that is coming your way.

You may be on "clear diesel" but it is more than likely not good diesel. Most of the diesel on sale in this country is laundered in one way or another. The only place you an get genuine diesel is in Sainsburys and the like. Even the branded filling stations are mixing good with bad.

Tyrone girl, the below link may be helpful for you:

I hope this makes amends for my immature behaviour
Dipped on a Sunday? You wouldnt get that in the south.
Nightmare Tyrone Girl! Total Nightmare! Any idea when you are going to get your car back? I was on it during my student days also, but been on the clear for a good while now, its just too risky with the number of dippers there are on the go these days! Does the fine correlate to the amount of diesel you had in the tank?

U are an absolute p***k and i should know better than to even bite back at u
In fairness you should of know better than to drive on illegal fuel!
Was in Newmills for the first (and hopefully) last time in my life yesterday. A dreary, dreary little place.
A coincidental, if neither relevant nor comforting, aside.
What would take a good Gael whose not from the area to Newmills?

It is difficult to feel any sympathy for someone who repeatedly and persistently breaks the law. Wasn't she caught driving with no MOT or something a while back too - and her works in a solicitors too! Disgraceful.
But she is female, surely she can just break the law as long as she bats her eyelids. ::)

Stop it.
Although the speed cops were out around the MUSA.
Il ignore most of the comments on this from all those whiter than white people who clearly love to get sniping and gloating at me.
Anyway - the car still at police station - customs are to ring today so presume will be taking them £500 in to get it back. They couldnt get it out of tank though cos wasnt enough in it so they got it from the engine. They were damm determined to get it out.
They have to get it out TG, so they can put it in their own cars, what do you think they do with all this red diesel, all the cop cars and police landrovers are full of it, they are a right shower.
hard luck anyways

They went to your engine? I thought they ceased that practice after claims began pouring in saying that they damaged the engine somehow! Hmmm, I dont like customs, they are rude obnoxious ball bags with a silly hat on!!!
Didnt know that - yeh they couldnt get it out of the tank so took the bonnet up to go through the engine some way. It wasnt customs that dipped it though it was the cops. Thats why no car back yet cos they took it to police station and said customs will be out today.
Can a policeman dip your tank? I didnt think it was their concern, I thought they had to wait for a customs officer to do it.
You`ll have to run the car on red for 6 months to recoup your loss.
Quote from: tyrone girl on June 01, 2010, 10:41:33 AM
Feck that be the end of the red going into it. Thanks to some generous people though the £500 will be sorted - tough lesson learned though.
Now you're just taking the piss...
You come on here complaining that you got caught and then you are annoyed that you got little sympathy & now someone is paying for it on your behalf... :o ::)
Quote from: tyrone girl on June 01, 2010, 10:55:30 AM
Who said anything about looking sympathy? Who said i was annoyed because i got none? I didnt ask for any. I stated what happened and said i would choose to ignore those gloating!!
Yes i did complain about getting caught!!! Did u want me to jump up and down and say it was great craic? Yes it is illegal, did i say at any time it wasnt? I knew the risks involved and i chose to take them anyway. Did i ask anyone to get down and cry for me and tell me how sorry they were? Did i heck as i know too well the attitude of the majority on here.
If my parents and bf choose to lend me £500 that i do not have to get the car back thats entirely their business. Noone is paying for anything on my behalf. They will get the money back. So get off your high horse.
Brilliant rant, simply brilliant!!!!

Stipulating you broke the law and got what you deserved is hardly winding, more a statement of fact.
how much do you save per tank when you use the dodgy stuff compared to the right stuff? does it give you the same mileage too?

Jaysus, tempting when its there on the forecourt in the pump next to the normal diesel one eh?
i'd say once you try it, it would be hard to go back to the regular stuff, its like all bad habits
Sammy less of that- you will have all these salt of the earth law abiding citizens on your back for talking such talk.
If the price of ordinary diesel is £1.25 per litre, the price of red is £0.59, and your car does 60 mpg, you would save the £500 fine after 10,000 miles of driving
thats alot of sweaty miles worrying about blue lights around the corner though :-\

I dont know what the highlighted word in bold means, can you clarify? Also, why have you two spaces between the words 'w**ker' & 'but'?
Why are you getting so uptight about this? I mean, you knew you where breaking the law, you knew the consequences if caught yet you continued to drive on illegal fuel! You where caught out and im glad, great to see criminals getting their just desserts, why should I pay the higher prices for clear diesel when you can pay half the cost and think you can get away with it? Shame on you, gambling, illegal fuel, think someone commented your had insurance issues a while back?? Not sure, anyway, Tyrone girl, you would need to take a long hard look in the mirror and just question the person staring back at you.
The problem with such a reply is that you need almost flawless spelling and grammar yourself.

Beware the Grammar Police(an the Grammar Police Ombudsman ;))
Tough luck TG, lesson learned I'm sure and thankfully the rest of those who don't break the law can stand at their pulpit and criticise. It is stupid though to take such a risk.
I have this friend who is on green for over 8 years now. Lost count of the £000s of pounds saved and is not in the slightest worried about getting caught. He has driven through check points and dippers several times and always gets waved on through. He says f**k them and f**k anyone who does not like it ;D
He would encourage it as much as possible. He says the secret is not to put it in any commercial vehicles or older cars as they are the ones who will get dipped.
Quote from: tyrone girl on June 01, 2010, 02:41:26 PM
Tough lesson surely bcb but sure thats life isnt it. Could be worse things happen.
Well for all those surely who dont break the law to stand and criticise - but sure they all trying to be big men seeing who can criticise and gloat the most.
Glad im in better form today that i can laugh at the irony of someone asking me why im getting uptight about being caught - when such people are behaving more uptightly.
As for the post on grammar - well saffron sam couldnt have said it better.
Dirty Dozen you remind me of one of them bullies i used to be scared off at school when i was wee - one of them boyos spouting shyte just for the sake of it - and looking all round them to see were their friends watching to see how big a man they were. Pathetic.
:D :D :D
Get out more, im a real big man alright on the gaaboard :D Not a bully, just love with the trout bites, people who get wound up so easily deserve to be wound up, its the only way they will learn ;D
Also,your taking the gaaboard way too serious and if you cant see that im clearly taking the hand out of you then you need to unplug for a while . I mean, i dont even know you so really i couldnt give a f**k if you piss in your diesel tank to save money on fuel to be perfectly honest. Loving the personal abuse your dishing my way also, i might have to report to moderators :D

Actually know a family from round me part that got done on something similar to the above. They went to pick up the car that had been impounded and when they arrived the car they were in was dipped also. Of course they were on the red in it too and ended up having both cars impounded and two fines. Just thought I'd throw that in there you know just incase.

Heard a similar "story" where the farmers wife gets dipped and has red, she says I have the money at home, so the Customs take her there and the husband's car is there and they dip her and she is full of red, and then the son pulls in in a work van full of red!

Dippers or tax? Tax camera has been flat out all week round Armagh. Lorry and a van pulled in on Northway heading into Portadown there. No polis about.
The sign said D.O.E checkpoint ahead?
Maybe I read it wrong.
There was definitely 4 men in high vis jackets and a silver volkswagen passet estate with the red and yellow chevrons on the back of it.

Sounds like dippers. All the kit for testing Fuel is in the estate.
seen them just before the larne roundabout in ballymeana on the road from larne last thursday
they are out more and more with the good weather....
Dippers on Kennedy Way yesterday and then Malone Road in the evening...Flash the lights at me

If ye don't want to get dipped stay off the old newry bypass between the fiveways roundabout and the mourne country roundabout.
If the things not right, be it day or night, then flash the lights at me.
They will be on Cookstown to Dungannon road this afternoon.

outside the library with 4 ruc/psni officiers carrying rifles.
was dipped there too. all clear. if it had been earlier in the week...
it usually takes a few washes so if you were using red earlier in the week it should have come a little bit rasperry.
green as it happens and always let her down to the fumes and fill her to the gills with white
lucky enough then. there could be a shortage of taxis in town 2nite from what i seen
you in the clear roloutking? or should that be on the clear ;)
Dippers setting up at Nutts Corner this morning at the craigavon exit.
Seen them yesterday evening at Loughbrickland on the A1 Belfast - Newry rd had 4-5 yokes pulled in
Heard yesterday that there's a crowd of custom ones booked into the Armagh hotel for the next 3weeks, so expect the late night checks over the weekend to continue >:(

They'll be treated the same by the government regardless of what fuel they use in the car! I doubt lost revenue from diesel caused the current problems!
No, but its a few pounds less to help those honest people who need it, and it adds up if a blind eye is turned towards it. And I'm sure plenty of the same boys filling the car up down at the hayshed are signing on later in the week.
I'm surprised your able to type way up there on your horse. Whats it like being a middle class hero? You strike me as being the type of boy would have a fantastic career as a traffic warden. You should try it some time, put your vindictiveness to good work
Here's some of the hotspots round the area I be in
Tamnaghmore Roundabout, any exit, most regularly outside the Cohannon
Between Edendork and Coalisland
At the Lifeboat mission at the Redford, (Between the moy and Armagh)
Beside Granville Mart (stopped since the new road opened)
Any motorway roundabout with a layby
They're taking people off the motorway to dip them. They were at the Birches roundabout in Portadown the other day, had spotters at the Tamnamore roundabout giving the dippers up the road an idea of who to check.
When you hear about them raiding an area, they're going to be there a while. It means they've caught someone who's happy enough to tout their way out of a fine.
Consider this people, how many times on this board have they been EAST of the Bann?
All seems quiet these days, difficult for them to operate in this cold weather! My diesel actually froze this morning, car going badly!
I hope your all caught :D

Not a diesel dippers story but be careful in the snowy weather. Girl that Mrs BC works with sent an e mail around the other day about her mother getting stopped in Cookstown. She had snow on her roof and they fined her £60 and gave her 3 points. Be careful to clear the snow off your car.
dippin between armagh and markethill today on armagh road. rathfriland road newry earlier in the week.
In Gortin today apparently. Wouldn't twitter be the job for keeping up to date on locations?
Dipping on the Moy road earlier... Its great getting stopped with a tank full of clear!! The CNUTS!! ;D
Has anyone here ever come up with an excuse / course of action that managed to fox them?
They are mad for dipping on the road I go home from Dublin, Newry to Armagh to Dungannon to Cookstown. I've been stopped (not dipped) by police in Dungannon or Cookstown 3 times in the last 5 weeks on a sunday night. They must like their sunday overtime

Put a big vertical exhaust pipe out through the roof of your car and paint "John Deere" along the two sides of it. Hitch a 4-sod plough to the back if it for extra effect.
Has the ever been or is there any precedence for a legal objection to letting them have access to the fuel tank?
Is it possible to simply refuse to open the fuel cap? Do they need permission to dip?

If the laws are anything like they are down here, the customs have frightening powers - way beyond those of the police. For one thing, the excise laws put the burden of proof on the suspect, not the Customs. So, for instance, instead of having to prove that your goods are contraband, they can seize them and it's up to YOU to prove they're not. So I'd guess if you refused to allow them to dip you'd be walking home and your wagon would be off to the pound.

I don't think they're too fussy about that. I'm fairly sure (down here) that if you're carrying contraband goods, they can confiscate vehicle, goods, the lot.

How does it work? Once you've put red in her does that mean theres traces of it there permenantly? Say you filled half red half clean would that be any use? Bound to be a way to beat the system..
Heard that half green half clear works.
Once you put red in the tank it can take several fills of white ran through the engine to ensure ther's no trace of red in the tank, imo it takes very little red in the tank to contaminate white diesel, the 'diesel distillers' around the country 'wash' the diesel with various chemicals to remove the red dye but this isn't good for your engine over a long period of time.
The one bonus with the red is that at least you can be sure it hasn't been tampered with & as many people will say it's the best diesel you will get.
Something on the slipway from the M1 onto the Northway outside P'down this evening, anyone know was it dippers? The tanker in front of us did a swift U-turn, (followed by us :D )

Customs from england and scotland takin up lodgings in the glenavon (cookstown) for a wipe out on red diesel from tonight spread the word!
Also heard they're saddling up in the birches in Omagh either this week or next. You better get the pump warmed up to empty the tank Tyrone Girl! ;)
Can anyone tell me is the offence "using" red diesel or is the offence having red diesel somewhere other than in an agricultural vehicle. Heard of a fella last week who was caught at a pump putting Red Diesel into a fake tank. Customs came straight over before he had finished and confiscated the motor. Wondering if they may have been premature

Elephant Trunk is the expression you're looking there TG, anything less is no good
There's cars pulled over on Corporation Street in Belfast. Not sure if they're dipping though- I think they might be checking the tax on the cars

This is good news for the Irish exchequer, as white diesel is somewhat cheaper in the South quite a few of these folks in outlying areas will make their way to Omeath, Emyvale, Pettigo, Lifford etc to fill up with the white stuff when they have emptied their tanks.

They were outside the Dean secondary school on the Pomeroy side of the town. I'd say they'll e covering everywhere around the town at some stage today.
Never seen the roads as quiet, no one had left their houses since Sunday!
Alternative route required then me thinks. Or else work late and don't go home until dark!!
Theyre not there at the minute. Don't know where they've disappeared to!
Jaysus lads! Is there an honest wan among ye up there in the occupied six ???
Does anybody know if you get all the red out of the tank and put clear in is that all you need to do to get rid of any trace of red?? also does your name be in the paper for being caught?! &do you have to pay the fine on the spot?

Only if they test it, which will only be done if the appearance is suspect.
The initial "look test" is the only reason why the mix works
Are you compensated for the fuel extracted and used in the testing process?
Does anyone know what the penalties are for being caught in the north for using green diesel (ROI agricultural) as opposed to red ? Apparently they cannot seize your veichle on green but can on red. Also if you do not pay the fine and ignore the warnings they post you they cannot prosecute. Any legal heads out there know the ins and outs of this??
In short... That's Manure!! Red, Green, Kero... You will get done for the lot!! The fine is £505 for the first offence and they'll lift the motor if you can't pay on the spot.
The kero mix works though if u have it mixed right. They will only be able to tell if they take it for sampling, which they will only do if it looks dodgy. As far as im aware it looks clear when mixed with clear diesel.

Its fact there used to be a loophole that they couldnt do you in the north
at all if you were on green, they could dip, see green, but had to let you go on ahead.
It was changed a right while ago though, 10 yrs or so. Not sure if theres any remnants of it like above
Dippers outside the MOT centre in Newry at the minute
I heard the fine now for being caught first time is up to 2K!
Can any1 confirm one way or the other by way of experience?

I don't think it is any coincidence that they are concentrating on areas of general lawlessness in counties Tyrone and Derry.

Sure the FB page is just to notify us members of possible traffic congestion. Nothing sinister ;)
With this drive on red diesel on and the recent increase in police check points checking tax insurance tyres etc is this just another calculated austere tax on the poor???

I wouldn't have thought so, I imagine they'd be even more likely to prosecute a rich person with a bald tyre or red diesel.

The Guilt got the better of me and I'm now officially back on the 100% legit clear diesel. But only til the shower of cnuts f off. Was on red constantly for 5-6 years and was up confident that they wouldnt catch me on my indian routes.
However the places that these boys are stopping this time is unbelieveable, every random place that you would not even stop to avoid running over one of the locals.
So i went to the pump this morn and put in £10 clear knowing that it would do very little to the needle but hoping that three small fills will wash the rosiness out of my tank. By the time i got to work the diesel light was back on!
Clear Diesel is not cheap!!!

EC you could be right but im hearing of them stopping in places that are one stop up from Beirut, places like Pomeroy ffs :P, so I dont feel safe on the back roads any more. When are they going home-no one knows. But i am of the persuasion that these hoteliers should not be putting them up, should not be feeding them steaks at what is essentially our expense.
We, afterall, are the ones who maintain a steady income for these propeiters 365 days a year and to take their 30 pieces of silver is in my opinion unjustifiable.
Also, who dips the dippers? EH?

I was told recently from a man in the know (an Armagh man as well) that the clear you buy out of the filling station is 99% likely to be washed unless your buying it form tesco, asda etc. Seems the launderers are supplying all the filling stations with the cheap stuff also!!

I tried to book a room in the Killyhevlin recently for a wedding I am attending in the near future. The cost of a double room with breakfast was £140 and that was supposedly a reduced rate for the wedding. It would seem that its perfectly acceptable for these shower of low life c**ts to stay in such luxury paid for by the ordinary person whilst we all pay close to £1.40 a litre for diesel with half the country out of work, rising rates bills etc etc...

They jack the prices up in there for weddings, I swear it. I was the same as yourself went to book a room for a wedding got quoted £140 in the Killyhevlin. Went on to expedia to see what the craic was, nothing available. Though it looked a bit suss so I checked the day before and it was £80, yet the hotel said they had plenty of availability. I'm assuming from that they decided to prevent the likes of expedia/lastminute.com from booking rooms at a lesser rate by showing them as sold out to the online travel agents. Scummers.
That sounds like a Rodney Watson stunt alright the black hoor but I suppose most hotels are at the same craic.
Never book a hotel by phoning them, always go through some of those websites as when they sign up to them they have to keep a certain amount of rooms available.
Totally agree though they should be staying in budget hotels and even that is too good for them!
BTW our politicians wouldnt know where to start the problems in this country, just happy to line their own pockets for as long as they can get away with it.

I would say they have a budget within public sector guidelines and If they can negioate a group rate within this budget then fair play. Personally I have stayed in lots of hotels for work and I would begrudge anyone a bit of confort away from home; even if I do think they are a shower of c***s.

They're all the f**king same. We were booking somewhere for a wedding last year - Galgorm I think - so the missus rang up and asked for the special wedding rate which they gave. I checked online out of curiosity and it was the same as the "specially discounted wedding rate". Tramps.

Have always driven diesel cars and have never even been stopped by these fellas never mind dipped and I live less than 5 miles from the border in Armagh. Loads of cops out with the hairdryers lately though - had to hit the anchors at Keeley's in Armagh on Saturday and Kernan in Portadown today.
Hairdryer out this morning outside the Honda garage on the Armagh-Portadown road
Dippers were out in force earlier in the week at the Moy/Dungannon roundabout and also down on the motorway. Also been spotted at Ballygawley roundabout a few times. Maybe this was their last big fling before they pi** off back to Scotland ::)

Was chatting to my father today about the dippers - he had the opinion (and had to be corrected by the mother) that they dont stop cars - because he's been driving diesel cars for 20 years and never once been stopped by this crowd.

Road tax crowd scanned a few estates in Armagh yesterday and clamped a few cars, if these cars had to have been parked on the driveways of the house could they still have been clamped?
If they've not taxed the car and not applied for a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) i think they can clamp alright.

In true government fashion they probably have SORN applications and road tax details on separate databases with no means of querying whose car has no/expired tax and no SORN against it.

Dead right NEW DEVIL. But no doubt the clientele that the glen pen is attracting these days they'll be buying the dippers mojito's and carrying them to the VIP area for them. Bring back the days of the cocktail bar where you got a good ould squad of GAA heads in on a sunday night after a dry weekend and you could basically do whatever the f*ck ye wanted.

If you are driving on red rather than clear, you are committing tax evasion. While nearly all relevant taxes raised tend to go into a big pot, the general idea is that fuel duty and road tax should go to maintaining relevant infrastructure i.e. the road network. If there is less money to keep this infrastructure going, then there has to be obvious cutbacks e.g. no gritting or clearing snow off roads which don't meet a certain level of traffic, potholes being slower to be filled as less resources are in place etc.
and what about the likes of myself for example, driving around this 20 years on clear, thinking to myself...i must have provided 1000's in some extra tax so that i dont have to drive over potholes, ramps, non-gritted roads and then i look around the roads i'm on and fcuk all is being put back in, as in, I see nothing but holes, ramps on a daily basis....then maybe its time i started the red and keepin my own feckin tax!!?!
Exactly, Abbie.

ie my motors half wrecked with ramps everywhere you go, i'm all for safe roads dont get me wrong, but some of the ramps are ridiculous...so i look on that as a cost to me but who is posting me back a cheque each year for repairs as i blame ramps for my car failing mot's mainly.

and what about the likes of myself for example, driving around this 20 years on clear, thinking to myself...i must have provided 1000's in some extra tax so that i dont have to drive over potholes, ramps, non-gritted roads and then i look around the roads i'm on and fcuk all is being put back in, as in, I see nothing but holes, ramps on a daily basis....then maybe its time i started the red and keepin my own feckin tax!!?!
ie my motors half wrecked with ramps everywhere you go, i'm all for safe roads dont get me wrong, but some of the ramps are ridiculous...so i look on that as a cost to me but who is posting me back a cheque each year for repairs as i blame ramps for my car failing mot's mainly.
but that topic is for another day, we#re talking diesel here
could you possibly drive over the ramps SLOWLY? You cant reason with this type of argument ::)

500 sheets of a fine on the spot or they take the car, then its x amount per day in the impound, and prob x amount to release it on top of all that!
Fair play to anyone on the red, im considering going back to diesel cars simply to get back on it, 1.35 for petrol, f**k that! 60% tax on it! Should be 54p with no tax! You dont see where your money is going, i'll tell you where its going, paying for apache helicopters in Afghanistan and Iraq and for SAS secret missions in places the Brits have no need to be! Oh dont forget its paying for John Doe to lay about the house all day and get rubbered cos he's got a 'bad back'! This society is away to f**k!
I know John Doe, and he does have a bad back!

Like the red diesel users, good luck to John Doe. The more you can get from the government the better. The government screws everyone, so fair play to anyone who screws them.
John Doe is probably off than people out working a full week. Who's the fool? Not John Doe!
Aw aye hes a great role model for his children and any young people around him, the country would grind to a halt if everyone took that attitude! Sure we'll just do like daddy or uncle Johnny and lay on the dole! Wheres the work ethic in this country, you just have to drive through West/East Belfast and wonder to yourself how the f**k are all these people off work? Oh thats right they dont work, they are just spongers off society! I agree that the Government is f**king everyone over, the people aren't stupid, i'm really surprised there hasnt been some sort of revolution yet, but the government has us all screwed that tight that if we were to go and protest for a week we would prob lose our job or losing that weeks wages would mean we couldnt pay the rent/mortage that month! Edwina Currie disgusts me, shows how far removed these elected representatives are from the real world!!

If anyone is on the jungle juice and wishes to take that risk, so be it. But don't complain about the state of the roads or the lack of gritting on some of them these coming few months if you do.
What has red diesel got to do with the state of the roads?
If you are driving on red rather than clear, you are committing tax evasion. While nearly all relevant taxes raised tend to go into a big pot, the general idea is that fuel duty and road tax should go to maintaining relevant infrastructure i.e. the road network. If there is less money to keep this infrastructure going, then there has to be obvious cutbacks e.g. no gritting or clearing snow off roads which don't meet a certain level of traffic, potholes being slower to be filled as less resources are in place etc.
No harm to you but that is a seriously simplistic view.

Loveth thy diesel dipper.
Luke 19:1-10:
At that time, Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town.
Now a man there named Zacchaeus,
who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man,
was seeking to see who Jesus was;
but he could not see him because of the crowd,
for he was short in stature.
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus,
who was about to pass that way.
When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said,
"Zacchaeus, come down quickly,
for today I must stay at your house."

Auch sure Diesel was a lot cheaper in those days, likely only about 34p/litre.

The sign must have been too small to fit the word "red" on so they left it off. Although "red" is a shorter word than "smuggled".

Why ae you worried abot "legal"?
The schemes you are seemingly suppporing are tax and excise scams that cost us all milions. Why are you not exposing these "die" criminals?
Does it f**k cost us millions from people using red and green diesel. The money is just redistributed. For one thing, its keeping a shit loada customs men in jobs, all of whom pay tax I'd have thought when they might otherwise be claiming dole. Also, any money saved is in all likelihood spent in the local community, where tax will be paid on it. You dont actually buy all that shite the govt put out about how they're hard done by, do you??! I can jsut see them dropping our taxes when they eradicate this criminality, cant you? ::)
Simple solution I heard on the radio the other day! get rid of the green diesel and then give the farmers rebates ( for the cheap diesel) depending on receipts etc. Seems like a good solution!

This is brilliant.
We should have more smuggling so they can have even more customs which would be good for the economy.
We should all stop paying any tax so they can have more revenue staff which would be good for the economy.
We should all become thieves and burglars so they would need more cops which would be good for the economy.
After a while we would all be sent to jail and yes that would be good for the economy as they would need thousands of new prison officers which would be good for the economy.
At times like this I miss Screaming Lord Sutch.
If successive governments were slightly less concerned with lining their own pockets and that of their cohorts and more concerned with helping the genuine hard working families who are being crippled by this stealth tax on fuel.
Have no sympathy for the government on this topic, tax the people to they cant afford to do the honest thing and then for good measure fine them when they cant afford it either.

No, smuggling by definition would be spending money in a different ecomony you muppet.
The revenue lost by green and red diesel is not relatively significant. The point was that statistics about how much a particular activity is costing us are inflated to a ridiculous degree.
As for the rest of it, wtf are you talking about??? If you're going to attempt witty hyperbolic analogies to demonstrate how intelligent you are, you should at least try to think them through...

So your criminal activity of choice is ok but the others aren't because:
a) different economies,
b) revenue,
c) unreliability of some statistics and
d) I am not intelligent?
(D) is the main bit, well, if one associates being able to read and interpret information as a loose guide to intelligence.
Like, wtf are you on about? You have invented and subsequently answered your own point based, it seems, on a skewed reading of my post. Staggering intelligence aright.
My point clearly relates to the effects people using green and red diesel has on us as tax-payers. Next to f**k all I surmise btw, as its clear if I dont keep it clear and succinct you'll get lost again.

Firstly it is a crime, I know you don't seem to have any problem with those, but people involved with such things usually end up in bother.
Secondly your argument about taxpayers is your own straw-man and not mine. There are many reasons why it affects the community negatively as all crimes do, for example what about the law abiding petrol station, but ultimately the reason I am against such activity is that it is a crime.
Christ - I have managed to over estimate your intelligence again.
Noone asked you if you were against it or not - certainly not me, so what are you answering there? I have no idea what you are on about.

You clearly are a genius, by your own admission of course.
Tell me this, what is your problem with the expression
law abiding Petrol Station?
Also tell me what does 'Green diesel' have to do with the white diesel sold by the above or the red diesel sold by criminals via any method they can contrive?
The only reason we pay taxes, is so that the government can pay back the interest on the money they have borrowed from the private banks. Using red diesel has no affect on the amount of money available for health, education, dole etc.
By the way, I don't consider using red diesel a crime. Failing to pay taxes on diesel to the government is the same as failing to pay back a gangster or a loan shark. Gangsters run the country anyway.

Again, no idea wtf you're on about. I have no problem with any law abidng 'petrol station' (they're actually called 'filling stations' btw, I dont know of any one that just sells petrol). What makes you say I do??
And these same law abiding filling stations sell red or green diesel depending on their jurisdiction. Keep up, or even better, shut up. I dont know of any criminals selling red diesel, and I dont have the faintest idea what your last sentence means.

And these same law abiding filling stations sell red or green diesel depending on their jurisdiction. Keep up, or even better, shut up. I dont know of any criminals selling red diesel, and I dont have the faintest idea what your last sentence means.

Diesel dippers check for red diesel which is a low tax mainly agricultural fuel. You spoke about green and red diesel. Green diesel is dyed agricultural fuel sold in the 26 counties and is irrelevant to this discussion on the diesel dippers in the 6 counties, who look for red diesel in cars, but you apparently don't know that.
As for your points about using red diesel having no effect on the taxpayer: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/rise-in-fuel-laundering-court-cases-promised-16102362.html (http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/rise-in-fuel-laundering-court-cases-promised-16102362.html): Your Government reckons it is €150m a year. ::)

Gas oil is essentially the same as diesel road fuel, but attracts a much lower rate of duty (see Ev. p. 22). To enable its ready identification, a prescribed chemical marker and a colour marker are added. It is from the colour of the dye that this product gets its colloquial names of 'red diesel' (United Kingdom) and 'green diesel' (Republic of Ireland). The use of either in the United Kingdom as road fuel is a criminal offence.
I see the use of red diesel as an ongoing civil disobedience against the illegal British occupation of the 6 counties. ;)
Seriously though there is no shame in doing the Brits out of a lock of pound. Given the shit they pulled in the name of "queen and country" I would have no qualms in a few harmless illegal activities that f**k them over.

Dear enough for red.
The sign must have been too small to fit the word "red" on so they left it off. Although "red" is a shorter word than "smuggled".
I went past the sign again yesterday "genuine 100% white diesel". Draw your own conclusions. It won't be going near my tank.

Loads of them on Northway in Portadown, just off Armagh Rd
Do they ever stop on the Motoroway/ New Rd to Ballygawley??
Would they usually stay off main roads at busy peroids??
IS the green a lesser fine??
You should try the white.
If you're caught with that they let you off !!!!!
Just get rid of the red and green diesel and let farmers use the white as well.
Ballinascreen last week. Few 306s pulled over
Just got a text saying they are in Omagh today.
what road r they on?
Must be a serious operation going on around the border at the minute on the fuel launderers.
Had heard there was a massive influx of customs HMRC in recent days.
On the radio this morning. Dawn raids on all the Gangstas in Armagh and Louth.
I would say this is a result of the Garda shooting a couple of months ago.

Major cross border operation against illegal fuel trade
Customs officials and police from Northern Ireland are involved in a huge cross-border operation against illegal fuel laundering and organised crime.
More than 300 staff are involved in the operation, including more than 100 personnel from Northern Ireland.
It is being led by the Republic's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB).
On Wednesday morning, 19 searches were carried out in Louth, Monaghan, Dublin, Kildare, Waterford, Offaly, Roscommon, Westmeath, Meath and Tipperary.
Ten businesses, seven houses and two warehouses were searched.
The investigation, known as Operation Loft, is being conducted jointly with the Republic's Office of the Revenue Commissioners and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
It is being supported by the Garda (Irish police) Air Support Unit and the Air Corps and special police units on both sides of the border.
In a statement, the gardai said the investigation is focused on the suspected involvement of an organised crime group based in County Louth.
"The objectives of the operation are to seize evidence of assets deriving from oil fraud and money laundering, seize and dismantle illegal oil operations, seize cash or other assets including vehicles used in the criminal activity and to freeze bank accounts," the statement added.

Had a feeling that it might be more about that than the fuel, its just an added bonus. Also I wonder would the Garda be so concerned about this if the country werent on its knees.
Once these guys start loosing a pile of money I would expect arrests on the murder case soon enough. Money is their God. I wonder will any GAA players be involved?

It is debatable how much "proper" stuff there is on sale around the border these days, most of it started life as green.
Is the fine still only £500? Sure that is no deterrent at all. I would have £500 saved in no time if I was on the red
Was £500 when i was caught but that was few years ago now
Just out of interest Tyrone Girl, what was the process?
Where were you caught, did they take the car or just give you a fine etc?
Have you made the £500 back yet? ;)

rarely see dippers in greater south Belfast but a friend told me there was a fairly recent purge in the Malone and Stranmillis areas. "Chelsea tractors" were the dish of the day and the customs officers were heard to remark they had caught 80 in a morning.

If you are dodging tax on green diesel up north, what's illegal? Customs are pulling you for using red diesel as you aren't paying British tax on it. So if you have illegal fuel from another country, was that why you couldn't be done for it in the past?
Listened to radio report other day regarding being caught on green in the south. Those caught faced court. Is this a new thing?
Apparently they said they can detect if your diesel is washed diesel. I wouldn't imagine that's a bookable offence?

On a similar note, if some bastard traffic warden is writing you a ticket but has not finished it yet, drive off, the ticket must be complete to be valid, 90 quid for a parking infraction in Armagh is a disgrace and the f**kers can't write enough of them.

They were at Coalisland Roundabout this morning too...Leave Tyrone alone you inconsiderate Bastids.
Coukdnt hit it hard enough for me, and remember, when they are there they are nit torturingbthe good people if Armagh.
I use the white because I Couldn't be arsed sneaking around and relying on texts from mates, telling you they are in town, it is also the law.
It's the law? Wow, didn't know that. I'll take a leaf out of your book from now on stew. Good man.
I put the law not in because I would be a great fellah for wanting the law upheld in the states in relation to illegal aliens, I was wondering which clampett would pull me on that statement, you sir, are said clampett. ;)
Dippers have Ballygawley well covered this morning. They were set up 1 mile from the roundabout on the Omagh side, and also on the Aughnacloy side shortly after 8.

Enniskillen road too. Massive operation this morning.
Do they just pull lorries and vans or do they pull cars as well? Have never actually been dipped before.

In Tyrone I'd say they'd also be on the lookout for motorbikes running on the red.
Thank god for facebook/twitter. :P
6 Counties criminality still going strong it seems 8)
Tamnamore now
Been dipped twice.
Both of those times 10+years ago.
Haven't seen a dipping operation in years where I drive. Mostly North Derry/ North Antrim/ Belfast direction.
I must have covered about 300k miles in that time, id have been up a clean fortune if I was running red.
Aye but you'd have it spent of fegs and loose women. Be thankful for your life of piety via the customs

Probably dodgy fegs and smuggled women too.
I've no doubt the dippers will move their operation into Armagh & Craigavon next, if i'm right i believe they go flat out at it for a week or two and then fly back to the mainland.
where can ye find out their locations whenever they are about..which twitter or facebook page?

Aye but just think of all that money you paid in tax has gone to good causes.

Sticking it to the man!
The diesel dippers out in force today. Spotted them on the Armagh-Newry road and Armagh-Portadown road. They were pulling in commercial vehicles, larger SUVs and pickups.
It's been a while since I have seen them on the roads.

Fuppin' backstards!
Rishi Sunak is set to announce in next week's budget that red diesel - so-called because it is marked with a dye - will no longer attract a lower fuel duty. It currently accounts for about 15% of total diesel sales in the UK and costs the Treasury about £2.4bn a year in revenue.
That's gonna funk things up.
That's gonna
massively f**k things up.
QuoteExplaining the increased duty on red diesel, a government official said: "We are talking not only about a significant contribution to climate change but also to the quality of our air.
"At the moment people aren't incentivised to make the change to lower consumption or alternative fuels. We need to fix that."
Are these f**kers living in the real world?
A small (120 bhp) sized tractor might run through over £100 of red a day.
A bigger (200 bhp) sized tractor might run through double that!
Thats north of a thousand pound a week on fuel and some f**kwit in whitehall thinks "people aren't incentivised to make the change to lower consumption"?
Disaster for farmers, along with upcoming reductions to subsidy payments at the same time.
Can we blame DUP & Brexit for this?
Another incentive for farmers to vote for reunification?

Only if running a tractor on red diesel turns out to be more expensive than using green.
Likely to be some scam/scheme were farmers buy electric/hydro powered tractors and get £1.60 back for each KW used.

Chancellor to scrap diesel tax relief
The chancellor says he will scrap a scheme that allows companies in some sectors to pay duty of just over 11p per litre for diesel, compared to almost 58p per litre for everyone else.
"But the sectors using red diesel are some of the biggest contributors to our air quality problem - emitting nearly 10% of the most noxious gases polluting the air of cities like London," he tells MPs.
"This is a tax relief on nearly 14 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year", which, he says, is the same as the entire population of London and Greater Manchester taking a return flight to New York.
"It's been a £2.4bn tax break for pollution that's also hindered the development of cleaner alternatives. So I will abolish the tax relief for most sectors."

Done and dusted.
Setting up Boris to sell it all out to the yanks.

Expect to see some building contractors "diversify" into farming as well!
