The garages near me are all chock-a-block with people panic buying already...

Heard the BBC news on the radio a couple of times today...
No wonder there are queues for fucks sake - they've been working the sheeple into a complete panic and telling them to stock up.... noooo:

Plus... the number of petrol stations that have gone out of business in the last couple of years. The figures were on Newsnight last night ... around 1/3 IIRC eeek:

Cost to fill Land Rover with diesel last week was £89, to fill the Corsa with unleaded was £67 sad24:
Both are full at the moment ...... Woodstock is planning a trip to see her mother next week ~ that'll cost me £75+ in fuel alone.

Just think...
They dig holes in the earth thousands of meters deep...
Then they pump the oil up...
Ship it halfway round the world...
Take it to a refinery...
Use vast amounts of energy to split it into its separate components - including petrol and diesel.
Then ship it hundreds of miles in tankers to your local outlet...
And they can do all of that for what, 50p per litre and make a profit?
And then the government adds £1 of tax to it! cussing:

I'm loving the interviews on the news at petrol stations.
Expressing their utter disdain and fury at the situation saying something like ....
" it's madness, if people weren't panic buying we wouldn't need to be in this situation. People should just calm down "
...whilst squeezing every last drop from the nozzle noooo: noooo: noooo:

One quote 'I am only filling up because we have to visit someone in hospital, a long long way away' .... so far away he obviously couldn't remember the name of the place. ::)

The whole petrol panic does seem to be encouraging Darwinism though.
