Fuel nonsense

Fuel prices are up and people go mental, despite a spectacular lack of blockading of refineries, i think about 2 men and a dog bothered to protest outside a Shell refinerie, eejits have caused shortages with panic buying. Ok i can understand people being concerned, but unless you are likely to left stranded somewhere get over it, if the worst comes to the worst just phone into work and say you'll be an hour or or so late because you are having to use public transport.

Thai i imagine is the worst case scenario for the majoity of people, inconveinence of struggling to get to work or the kids to school, or the weekly shopping done because you have ran out of petrol. It is not a reason to make the situation work by selfishly making sure your tank is full so you can tootle about your business.

As for fuel protestors, get over it, oil is a diminishing resources the price is going up and it is likely to stay that way, it may go back down in the short term but enjoy it while it lasts because i don't think any future price dip is going to last to long!
