... I think the country is going mad.
With people at work reckoning that petrol stations in Bishops Stortford (where I work) are already running out (how true this is I don't know. And the huge queues I saw myself last night in the town where I live (Braintree) everyone seems to be panic buying.
Why? Surely things aren't going to get as bad as they were 5 years ago when even buses and ambulances were starting to run out - no one wants to see that again.
What do they expect the government to do? If they reduce the tax on petrol, then something else will have to go up to make up the difference.
I don't understand about the whole OPEC thing though, I read that they were going to be asked to up production - which gives the impression they're not running at full capacity at the moment - why not? Or are they content to sit there and collect the the 60+ dollars a barrel or whatever it is now.

I wonder if it'd actually be possible to do that.
Depending on the price in the rest of the EU, possibly pretty good in the east, it might be financially do-able. If it was a big operation, and the tax laws didn't catch it.
I just about believed it until 'straight through your letterbox' :^)
Not actually that funny though, for a parody :^S

How completely bizarre! Surely they'd use up as much fuel delivering it as there actually is in the thing they're sending. Also, leaded petrol on sale... eek.

I wasn't going to reply to your comment, but I saw the queue behind Timmargh and Meka Dragon, so I decided to join.
why all the ques?
its because we the British LOVE to Que, no matter how much you moan, they see a que, they join it. !

I'm just glad I'm house-bound at the moment while the rest of the country turns into something like Mad Max 2.
I agree about the gimpiness of people panicing. I usually fill up on a Wednesday anyway so had no choice but to queue for the blinking stuff otherwise I'd have not made it home.
