[jimma]

Jaxx, THE GREAT RICE KRISPIE shortage of 1974 only really caused a problem for diesel operators :D

got new rouge's' (note went for the plural!)

what do ya reckon?

<---------------------------

NICE, never a fan myself but rogues they are. Watch this space.

[jimma]

only way to get a proper protest and make it seen is to hit the 2 main nerve centres,

The refinery, or

Where it enters the country!!

Careful mate, you don't half sound like a terrorist

[dave5282]

No...but I think I may have farming instinct in my blood, or perhaps Iam french??? LOL

[jimma]

Watching SKY news last night, they reckon the ACTUAL COST of a litre of fuel (ave.) is 19p The other 75%(ish) is UK Rip off government tax. How can this be justified? :( What other country charges 75% tax on ANYTHING?, None is the answer - Pro Rata (if thats the right phrase) Britain is the highest taxed country in the world and the world laughs at us

[dave5282]

The world laughs at us, and Tony b-liar, carries on being the fall guy!!!

[Moffmo]

seen stroys in newpapers today - its all bullsh*t!

[Fidgits]

its worth mentioning, the goverment has planned to increase fuel tax by 2p a litre in September...

Yes you read correctly Even with the fuel price skyrocketing, the goverment is putting up tax on it again

I suppose its not their fault their :censor: with money, and have to keep taxing us to dig themselves out of the holes theyve made!!!

Just back from Tesco - the petrol station was v busy - about a 20 minute wait to get on a pump - panic buying - the crisis has begun even before the first blockade has been set.

Did you notice it as you passed other stations?

Dave

I only go past 1 other station and it's a 'Save' so I never use it and can't say I noticed if it was busy or not.

[jimma]

Screw 'em, I drove my Toy down to the warning light last night for the first time ever, an I aint fillin it up. I now fill the clio with Jet/Q8/Tescos being the lesser of two evils and I have a feeling I will be using the Clio for my own purposes!

What yer reckon Jaxx, Last year aside, Matthews gotta be a platinum rogue, you can see it in his face! :D

Just see non local news (Look North) during my lunch hour and it was mentioned that in some places in the UK unleaded has reached 109.9p per litre WTF. :ffs:

[Fidgits]

So that wasnt too bad
