[OT] Petrol
Well, Swindon is rapidly drying up as the junkies queue up for their
dealer. Texaco completely out, big queue at Shell. I'm ashamed to be part of the same human race as these idiots. |

Next week I shall be borrowing Mrs M's Occupational Therapist uniform as some as someone on high in PetroCo has decided that only front line NHS staff can have any, not low life test tube washers. |

I was pleasantly surprised at the headline in the local paper, though.

Don't blame the gay and lesbian, transgender and transsexual community." -- Mayor Daley |

Zog The Undeniable came up with the following;:
Well, Swindon is rapidly drying up as the junkies queue up for their dealer. Texaco completely out, big queue at Shell. I'm ashamed to be part of the same human race as these idiots. Heh. I live in Doncaster, towed the caravan with family and a couple of friends to Letchworth on Friday, back again on Sunday and topped up (£50's worth, Landrover Discovery). We now have enough to last at least two weeks when we shall once again sally forth but to Worcester for the weekend. Meantime I use Shanks' Pony, my bicycle, my motorbike, the wife's car or PT, in that order, as need/suitability arises. As we have no need to visit the woods this week the Landrover is parked up. -- Paul ... (8(|) Homer Rules ..... Doh !!! ebay stuff 6802526343 |

Well I can't complain - the more the fuel price goes up, the more cash
I save due to the 5000 commuting miles I do a year. Also, my company shares go up, so I can't really lose ;-) Thought it was outrageous Brown asking OPEC to raise production to bring down the price of crude oil, since it's his tax take that is the main reason for the high price of fuel. In any case, it's not lack of crude oil that's the problem, it's a shortage of refinery capacity to process the crude which was exacerbated by Hurricane Katrina. |

The *rate* of tax hasn't changed but the higher the price of fuel the
more VAT the Govt gets. |
