waynemorris Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I can't remember how many years ago it was but when the petrol tanker drivers went on strike it nearly brought the country to a standstill. There was panic everywhere at the petrol pumps. Of all the strikes this country has had I think that has been the worst. I was even using my lawnmower petrol to top up the bike. What really sucks is when the strikers hurt the innocent public, Their problem has nothing to do with us but it is we that suffers! Going back even longer, I was working the pumps in the seventies when petrol was rationed to £2.00 per customer. There were nearly fights at the pumps by customers demanding more petrol. On a lighter side a lady driver pulled in and after filling her with £2.00 worth of petrol she asked me to check her oil, I pulled her dipstick out, wiped it with my rag and noticed that the oil was low so jokenly said "you need a longer dipstick" "Do you sell them?" she asked.

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Only a few places on the island to buy petroland diesel think it is one of the most expensive places to buy fuel in britian on the bright side our roads were voted among the worst !! I got 15litres on the north (scotland) coast from one of those post office/shop/petrolpump/vet/doctor/supermarket all-in-one community things in September and it cost me £20 and some pennies...... that's a whopping £1.33 a litre! Fair enough there wasn't another petrol station for miles and miles and it's a community thing, so travveling to Tesco's 80 miles away for fuel is a bit of a problem, but even so, it's still a bit much. The pub in Applcross gives you a gallon for a £5, again it's a community thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORRIEBOY Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Isn't it funny how we are butt-fucked with the price of petrol and hardly anyone makes a fuss..... Yet 2 annoying little fuckwits with no talent get through to another round on the X-Factor and the whole country complains..... Something is very wrong indeed....... so john and edward are called Jedward its a pity they where not called Peter and Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is actually going to DO something, then? Everyone complains. No-one DOES anything to stop it. Will you? What exactly can be done. Boycotting won't work unless on a mass scale and thats never going to happen with the myopic sheep that most of the population can generally be described as. Truck drivers had a go at blockades and rolling stoppages, police used laws passed in an emergency vote to brake up the protests with military personell at the refinary's. Any gathering of people to protest about fuel will be shunned by people as soon as it starts to happen fuel companies trot out the "If it continues prices will have to rise" bullshit. Of course if you are part of a 'sensitive sub group' and stub your toe the government will give you thousands. So TTask, speaking as part of what seems to be a more and more totalitarian country, what can we do? Portugal is not all bad apparently...........
