i hope they don't all start panic buying before Thursday or i'm fucked

if i didn't have to spend the weekend sorting my car out i would be straight off to Kingsbury on satarday... if that refinery is even there still

Kingsbury just off the M42? Thats a fuel deopt as far as i'm aware.

Here are the UK oil refineriers i can think of from work:

Grangemouth, Scotland (BP)

Stanlow, North West (Shell)

Milford Haven, South Wales (Texaco)

Fawley, Southampton (Esso)

Seal Sands, Teesside (diesel only) (Petroplus)

Killingholme, Humberside (Conoco -Jet)

With links through work, i should be able to get some juice come a crisis :grin:

i think there doing depot's as well tho ain't they? or would i be the only one there?

Yeah they blockade the fuel depots too.

My mate was saying how when he first started driving petrol used to be 40p a litre, lol. Old schooler

indeed, it was 49.9p the day I passed my test

It was 36.9p when I passed my test(Feb '89)

I've seen 108p a litre. Ridiculous. I'm glad I'll be buying a diesel Polo this weekend.

I don't know whether to bother filling my car up or not. It's still just over three quarts and I normally leave it til it hits the red. Is the strike just one day or could it last longer?

Well people will be panic buying and if you think back to the last petrol strike, I think it would be a good idea to fill right up and try and conserve some

how much will it get lowered by if the strikes are successful

Whats happening with this?

it died very badly, apparently some official motor groups refused to back their protest plans and they failed to get enough support. they did protest but in very small numbers.
