A Few of the petrol stations around here have been really busy and have sold out of fuel. Anyone else got a similar problem in there area. |

I don't think it will take much to start everyone off this time. Tip of the week will be to keep your fuel tank well full.

There was panic buying on friday night but it seems to have calmed down for now, but i am guessing that it will get worse towards wednesday. Apparently, according to sky news the protesters are not going to block the fuel going in and out from the refineries this time, but are merely going to protest and block the M4 and try to bring it to a standstill. 'Legislation introduced since the 2000 protests has given ministers and police significant new powers to deal with demonstrations which threaten to disrupt the supply of fuel to motorists and industry' What a great and free society we live in!! The bottom line is that the chancellor is not going to reduce the tax on fuel so any protest is not going to help as he wont listen, all he is going to do is ask OPEC to increase production. http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,3 ... 34,00.html |
