    Cost me £21 to fill my bike today, have it 18 months and in that time its gone from NEVER costing more than £15 to fill it to £6 more. And I never took it to the top this time either normally I brim the tank but I nearly threw up in my helmet when I saw £20 on the meter and stopped at a round £21.......

    In a scene from John McGrath's play, The Cheviot, the stag, and the Black, Black Oil, an American oil tycoon performs a frenzied dance singing:

    'Take your oil rigs by the score,
    Drill a little well just a little off-shore,
    Pipe that oil in from the sea,
    Pipe those profits - home to me.'

    Could not agree more Mitch - I'm on standby already to go -

    Little man takes the pain, they must think we're all w*****s
    No fat left on the bone, time up for the oil lords and bankers

    No, and if a nationwide protest was organised then i'd be involved. But 1 man won't change anything.
