    I would hate anyone to have their prejudices challenged by the addition of simple facts, but for one, the 45k average figure is bollocks.   http://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job=Fuel_Tanker_Driver

But you only use the same amount. That doesn't make sense, it just stays in your tank longer.

In the long run yes but they get more money quicker this way.

Some spend ?20 a month and it takes 3 month for ?60, this way they get their tax much quicker. I tell ya its a ploy.

Shit bait.

 

Must try harder, mate.

Is this with the robbers come out and siphon your tanks off and sell it back to you for a bit more cash or is that the government again?

Ther'll be plenty of snapped off fuel caps on driveways, I can see it. Now where's that home brew hand pump I had??

Plenty of false plates and bilking, I'd say.

Strong rumour nocking about that folk are now panic buying jerry cans just incase the strike does kick off and a mad rush for jerry cans means that they all sell out.

 

YHIHF

there really are some idiots out there

The government has advised motorists to fill up their tanks when they become half-empty in case of a possible strike by fuel tanker drivers

Best the in-laws start stocking up with Jerry cans to get us home again or trip could be off.

It cost me 8 quid to fill the Vespa last week. Outrageous!!!

We really are an island of fuckwits.

If they do strke then public services will be no doubt be affected, no bother, that lot get paid anyway and they wont care a cunt if the bins are full and the kids dont get taught.

 

The fucking rest of us will just have to suffer (and pay for) the consequences.

 

Wankers to a man.
