April 22, 200818 yr This is rubbish everywhere is selling out, whats going to happen about trials in general?? and is the scottish still going to be running?? suposedly it will take seven weeks to close down the plant and start it back up again . whats everyone elses thoughts??
April 22, 200818 yr You don't think they actualy close the plant do you, it's the old Apache Indian trick, so they can slap another 50p a liter on the cost. Might be a wise move to enter on an Oset.

This is why they say don't panic........the UK has 70 days worth of fuel in storage the distribution of that is already underway. Anyway, I strongly suspect that the strike will be called off because the economy will suffer hugely and Wee Eck couldn't handle that and Holyrood will intervene. FFS sake folks don't panic
April 22, 200818 yr We've not noticed it down here yet, but i suppose we're right next to some of the larger refineries. Is it really hitting some parts of the country already?
April 22, 200818 yr I actually live in the North of Scotland and have just completed a trip tonight from Newcastle to my home. I fuelled at Bedlington last night, because I had to, no queues at all, the pump attendant wondered what I was talking about! My company Mondeo diesel does 650 miles on a tank, I run it for 600 miles and fill it up to the brim, run it for anoyther 600 and do the same again, when it needs it! Sure, panic buying has prevailed in towns like Inverness, people have the mentality of sheep, if you told them there was going to be a shortage of condoms the damned things would sell out in an afternoon!... Morons! There is no need to panic and certainly no need to fit a bigger tank on your bike! If everyone would take a "chill pill" there would be absolutely no problem. Slapshot is right, there is plentiful reserves but if the halfwits keep filling their bloody fuel tanks every night on the way home from work there will be a shortage and road blocks outside petrol stations. Panic...we don't need it! Big John

April 22, 200818 yr Kinell would do well in the Scottish on an Oset. If he gets lost he could follow the power cord backwards until he gets to the place where he went wrong.
