Its a joke it really is..

I teach peoples to drive, and have been struggling to move anywhere today as the roads outside any station are gridlocked, and there are obviously stations every few hundred meters..

tonight, having got 12miles of fuel left had to drive past four stations closed due to no fuel before finding one that had any. the irony of how much extra fuel everyone must have burned queueing and being stuck in queues. grrrrr

fuel madness in Oxford yesterday, I sat in a jam for 20 minutes waiting to get to the forecourt, I watched a guy in a porsche cayenne fill his car then 4 gerry cans, some get fed up of waiting and decided to go round the wrong side of the roundabout and onto the forecourt that way to the disgust and exclamation of us waiting in the queue, I didn't need fuel that bad so I pulled out and went back to work before all hell broke loose

why doesnt the public/companys join them in strikes and do blockades at the same time about the price of fuel then the government may sit up and listen

Went to get petrol today because my fuel light was on and needed to fill up so can go out at the weekend and went to four petrol stations before I found one that hadn't sold out then I waited over 20mins to fill up!

I just hope David Cameron turns round next week and says there won't be any strikes that will teach all the little sheep for panic buying.

All David Cameron has done is pull in 43 million on duty before the end of year and keep his budget out the papers as they are full of c***s buying fuel, and some say he dosnt know what he's doing :think:
