Never underestimate the stupidity of the common man!!Get a grip people ffs.

I agree, the strike date hasn''t even been confirmed yet. Look forward to more panic buying when it is.

I queued for 4 hours today, only wanted a mars bar and a pint of milk....

[nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159]

The treasury is laughing all the way to the bank, what an easter bunny windfall, this on the assumption that a strike might happen, after Easter.The jerry can message also sold out every jerry can people could lay their hands on.We are told to ''go buy siome jerry cans, fill them with petrol and stroe them...ehyem, here is wwere the problems starts. Insurance companies will not like the idea of having unsupervised petrol quantities in garages and homes. Then there is the security aspect, if this petrol is stolen and then used by a thrid party to start a fire, all hell will break loose.At a petrol station CCTV watches over who buys petrol, but once its in our garages, nobody watches it, a dangerous accelerant that is out of view and not secured.Just as the gullible voters of Bradford west where swayed by Galloway oratory skills, these gullible consumers have taken the PM''s message hook line and sinker, bless.I hope you finally got you pint of milk and a Mars bar. It never surprises me how much time motorists have at hand to drive around the countryside trying to find petrol, queuing for hours to get a rationed amount.

Brewery workers have just called a nationwide strike. I advise you all to stock up and panic buy at your local pub asap.

Good little sheeple BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [/quote]Obviously thought the warning notices about petol and naked flames only applied at the garage not at home. Who in their right mind pours petrol into another container with their gas hob on????No way she deserves compensation. It was not an accident as she did not take due care to prevent it happening.

The Shell petrol station on Caister Rd, Yarmouth has been accused of profiteering by putting up its prices considerably during the queing/threatened strike fiasco.

That''s the kiddy.

The subject of a facebook campaign (not that I''m a fan of them.)

[SHRIMPER 328]

Do not know how to use Facecrap myself but that picture came from another forum I use. I do not live in that area and if I did I would never use that garage under any circumstance after such blatant profiteering

[Herman 10,371]

£1.48 is the worst i''ve seen so far.And the garage still sold out[:S]

And just to prove that some things never change.Sid James scamming the public.
