Any way haven't you seen the price of wood?
Ah.... we have ze plan!!!! :D
The lengths the current coalition administration will go to, to top-up the treasury piggy-bank appears to know no bounds.
Amid fears of a possible tanker drivers’ strike, Tory Cabinet Minister Francis Maude indulged in a bit of reckless and irresponsible scaremongering, when he said, "A bit of petrol in a jerry can in the garage is a sensible precaution to take."
I wonder whether or not this was a calculated ploy to encourage motorists to ‘panic buy’ stock piles of fuel? :-/
No doubting that if 20 million motorists purchased 20 litres of fuel each over and above normal average sales, this would give a much needed economic boost to the treasury coffers before the end of the financial year.
Perhaps I’m an OTT cynic and in reality The Rt honourable gentleman is just a bumbling old fool? :P
Cant find any fuel tonight full stop.
I remember when it was around 76p a gallon and you used to be able to pay a bit extra, around 5p for a shot of redex at the attended pump :)
The ploy worked then ;) :PQuote:

bloke in front of me stopped at the pump, put the nozzle in his filler cap filled for a few seconds, stopped, shook his car manually from side to side, filled a little more, again shook the car.. back to the nozzle for another squirt, etc .. etc.. five or six times.
. after he left, I pulled up to the pump and it read £7.30... it's because of tossers like this there's queues at petrol stations. >:( >:( >:( >:(
