Here We Go Again - Fuel Shortages !
On my way to work this morning the 'boys' are back protesting outside Bramhall Oil Terminal about fuel prices and 1/2 mile down the road the locals are queueing for petrol.
I am sure that the petrol companies wind these guys up when sales drop off so that the public run out and buy up every drop of fuel and the petrol companies make another fortune.
What I find particularly interesting is that there is a brand new X-reg. Mercedes C-Class parked in the middle of the protest : now which poor transport operator does that belong to ? If fuel prices are so crippling, how come he can afford it and how come he can afford to spend his time standing on 'picket lines' when the rest of us in the aviation/transport business have to work our asses off just to pay the mortgage ?
I agree fuel prices are too high but their method is sheer madness and if not stopped will bring the country to a grinding halt again !
