Well I'm completely skint now after following the Government's advice to stick a jerry can in the garage. I don't have a jerry can or a garage, so I'm now £2000 lighter after having to go out and get them :roll: :roll:

Just topped my tank up with Tesco Momentum (all the 95 Unleaded was gone but I don't use that) this was at 06:20 this morning and there was only 2 cars in front of me. The que had built to 8 cars when I'd done though.

I forgot my green plastic can too :x

My theory is that the whole thing is spin to:
a) divert attention from the fact that the evil bastards are robbing from the poor to give to the rich.
b) generate a massive additional revenue at the end of the financial year to prevent the official figures from confirming the fact that the country has, indeed, slipped back into recession.

ConDems = Wankers! Neither party will ever have my vote!!

I've got about a fortnight's worth as long as I don't do any unnecessary journeys, "sorry kids, the government have prevented us from going to the beach in this lovely sunshine....." :evil:

Dont worry mate the weather turns to sh*t from tomorrow :( my wife said something similar yesterday she asked if i fancy a drive to Brecon over the weekend, walk the dog n kids along the canal and have i few beers in Talybont....she offered to drive so i can have a few and i turned her down. :shock:

Went to asda Dowlais this morning for shopping and the woman on the till told me they closed the petrol station due to people fighting at 1pm but told the public that they were out of fuel... cops up there aswell... then at 8pm last night two cheeky barstewards moved the bollards and tried putting fuel in the fast lane...the countrys going bonkers.
Also stuck in the traffic were two fuel tankers this morning surely it's a no brainer for these fools to let them get to the station that their going to fill up in. :lol:
