Posted By: Anonymous Here we go........ ? - 3rd Dec 2010 2:33pm
Here we go again. Some retard in the media decided to initiate the "Fuel panic buying" sketch all over again. Gawd help us. Now of course, folk will be "panic buying" every gallon they can get hold of. From what I can see from the news, there have been local shortages and some delays of tanker deliveries due to the road conditions in the UK.

Some numptie says "shortage" and the world and his wife fill everything up to the brim rapido - creating a shortage !

Let commonsense prevail (difficult with some I know). I'm not bothered. I filled up a clean wheelie bin to the brim with unleaded** and it sits in the lounge ready for any eventuality !!

** Don't try this at home kiddies ! It's a joke. Oh Jeez, forget it.

What colour wheelie bin, wouldn't like to get into trouble for using the wrong one.

Good old 2 star. An amusing little fuel. Slight hint of Ethanol but with lasting notes of lightest crude. An ideal accompaniment to an impromptu snack around the fire. Difficult to get now. Luckily I had a couple of bottles laid down a few years back.

You are obviously a man of taste polo_phil !! Not like those peasants on the Brasso or meths - how dreadful !!

Oh sh*t Bert. Never thought about that. It was er...... green !

Dammit, I'll have to phone the wife and tell her to come back and change the bin before she starts filling up.

I think we'll be ok. We've had hardly any snow between here and Stanlow refinery. I reckon I could just about last till Christmas without filling up my diesel barge anyway.

I'm going back to steam power and good old coal.

Wonder what it is price wise in the Cotswolds now. They were hiking prices up in the boom.

Shell in Upton is 1.19p, they stuck it up 2p overnight. Current cheapest is 1.17p in Sainsbury's.

Oil prices just hitting a high again, so I expect its all about to kick off again. People NEED cars at this time of year, so its the perfect time for OPEC to strike. The buggers.

As always, time to make a note of the filling stations who hike the prices up rapido. They are 101% "on the make". Don't give me this crap about "oh, we are just passing it on".

Avoid them like the plague !!

Need cars? I used to think so but now we aint gOot one, am not arsed. Walk or bus for me!
The chitter chatter bol ox gets on my nerves tho
Posted By: Bezzymate Re: Here we go........ ? - 5th Dec 2010 8:03pm
No offence RUDE,but we couldn't work without cars!
To get to West Kirby from New Brighton,I would have a 10min walk to the station,get the train to BK North. Catch a train there to West Kirby,then a 20min walk to work.
My Husband works 12hour shifts in Warrington.
So to us the fuel price is a problem!!!!

Noticed ASDA in Runcorn is 116.9p unleaded with Shell at 118.9p

Not sure if these prices are the same on the Wirral though
