April 25, 200817 yr It is time legislation was bought in outlawing strikes in essential services in this country such as emergency services, security forces, transport services, fuel depots and other areas that are essential to the infrastructure of this country The nation should not be allowed to be held to ransom like this, it is time strikes in essential services were made illegal tbh i find it hard to argue against you on this, though im sure scott will ! :lol: if he ever gets back online.
April 25, 200817 yr Author This will escalate rapidly I'm quite sure. They are now saying 50% of North Sea Oil production could be affected. Maybe it has a chance of making BBC/Sky News now. :rolleyes: Oh and by the way, the garages in the nearest town to me have no petrol. Again. :wacko:

April 27, 200817 yr Author Well I've been trying to find some unleaded petrol today. No joy. I must have visited 5 petrol stations. The big one in Hamilton is out and they say they aren't getting another delivery until Thursday next week. I don't know where all these reporters on the News are reporting from where they're saying there is no evidence of panic buying and most stations are running normally. :wacko: Maybe they've been told to say that because things sure as feck aren't normal around where I live. There is no bloody petrol!!!! :arrr:
April 27, 200817 yr We all know reporters will go to just 1 petrol station see cars coming in and out, and report the 'news'
April 28, 200817 yr Fife seems to be ok, well the north east anyway. Our price is 105.9 at morrisons in st andrews and between 106.9 & 110.9 everywhere else
April 28, 200817 yr Author I managed to get £15 worth of unleaded today. That should last me till the weekend if I only drive to and from work and nowhere else. ^_^
April 29, 200817 yr petrol has hit a new all time high today.... £5 a gallon... strewth, i remember it being 50p...
April 29, 200817 yr Shell and BP's profits are up 45% and the government are raking in an extra £123million in VAT Thieving gits. a reduction in fuel tax would reduce the pressure on millions of motorists and would leave more money for people to spend on food and energy. Then again the Government dont make as much money of them :rolleyes:
