Apparently there will be a petrol strike starting at 10am on Saturday 15th December, fill up chaps

 

never mind the strike,,,my car does 6 laps to the tank so i'm ok..

 

and what is the strike gonna achieve??

 

Its in protest of the constantly rising fuel prices. There are alot of people whos jobs depend on been able to buy fuel, truckers and taxis etc. If the rise of fuel keeps rising, it will put alot of people out of work.

 

More like price increase on the streets,our solid fuel as just had to go up cos of the road fuel price going up.. always man in the street that pays the price... ...

 

Do what everybody else does paul pass it on to the customer..

 

Thats why bus and rail faires have just gone up .. to the goverment.

 

already done that mate..
bet your truck is sh*t on fuel Bri ,what does that do to the gallon with a full load on...

 

With a full load I bet its gallons to the mile. lol

 

not many benny..

 

It does between 6 and 7 to the gallon i did £2500 pound in fuel last month.

 

On a run you might be lucky and get 10 to the gallon but it depends on how you drive it ..I have a heavy foot..

 

It takes the pis*how are u suposed to earn a living...

Last time we did block the fuel terminal's everybody benefited like you andy because we got a cut in road tax we was paying £3250 in road tax a year so the goverment cut it for us down to £1250 a year so it does achieve something which in turn helped not to put the prices up to the public like it is now everything is moved by road on trucks. Food to the shops your bins been emptied everything that you buy from a shop has been moved on the road hope this enlightens you abit andy.

 

aye precisely, i have quite a few friends in haulage, and its such a pain to spend so much money on fuel.

last week in US they were complaining that they had to pay $2 for a gallon of gas we pay the equivalent of about $8 a gallon!!!

go for it i say, just keep topped up as much as you can and heavens sake dont panic buy!!! if all else fails we can all just stay at home and enjoy a forced chrimbo holiday!

 

cheers bri noticed alot of tankers out in force on friday night.. reckon they knew the protest was coming, so got the deliveries out beforehand??!!

well i must say the petrol protest was a complete failure, from what i've heard the people who turned up could be counted on one hand at each refinery and the amount of police at one protest was a "bored looking plod in a van"

why are we (the english people) so half arsed at doing anything??!?! there's no wonder the government rapes us at the petrol pumps

booo at taxes!

 

cos everything we vote for linz, never happens, and the government always do there own thing... its not a peoples government no more, we have no voice... they do their own thing and we follow...

i must admit, you could tell the protest had failed, i didnt see a single que outside any petrol station round waki or ponte... business as usual!!

sorry to sound negative and pessamistic guys, but nothing will change until brown and his tagnuts decide to call it quits, and we get someone decent in power... but who... thats the question!

clarkson for prime minister!
