Queues at the petrol stations

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, i drove all the way to Tesco only to find out that the MASSIVE petrol station there had run out of ALL fuel. had to get it from BP rip off merchants :(

 

The annoying thing is that last time there was a strike was because petrol prices were apporaching over the 80p a litre mark? Its now over £1.40 a litre and nothing has happened?

 

Then tanker drivers feel that they want more money as it's "dangerous" to drive with a tanker full of petrol and subject us to this? What about the armed forces.........their job can be dangerous but they knew what they signed up for when they started.

 

If any of the tanker drivers want to quit, i'll take their job. It'll still be a lot more than what i'm on now and i'll take the risk for that kind of cash.

Its illegal to attempt to blockade a petrol refinery now due to anti terrorism laws the last government brought in.

I can't help but wonder if this is a deliberate scam by the government to generate Tax revenue in order to hit the budget, just days before the end of the tax year?? Year end performance related bonus anyone???

 

This.

 

I'm not normally one for foil hat wearing but this one, just days before the end of the year looks like WAY too much of a coincedence to me too.

Heard this on the radio too today (LBC), apparently it should bring in an extra £500 million.

 

That's right from an extra 2 busy days days at the pump brings in nearly half a billion to the government!

And you thought the queues were long at the petrol stations!!! :p

 

Maybe like Cj's post whore thread I can make a most likely suspects list, Surely after bumping Abz and Ed's shameful moments they are No 1 and 2 on the list. Feel free to add yourselves and I can see how many members I have upset in the short time of being here :D

It's all right, were gentle with the 'special needs' members ;)
