I delivered to 3 shell garages today all was empty when i got there and closed the sites, good job i did cos within 10mins of getting there they were queuing on the road outside and i would not have been able to get the tanker off the forecourt, i could see people with petrol cans in there cars too so it ain't stopped yet.

Just watched a program from the 80's and unleaded was 40.9 pence a litre
It said in the paper last week that all these nob heads filling up made the government £35 million pounds of revinue in one day!

You lift out of P+ Coryton ? Them MAN's are fast away from the lights on the Manorway running down to the refinery, was driving the other hafts MK2 Golf GTI in on a call-in to the refinery last week, okay not the fastest car in the world but fun. Pulled up next to a Shell tanker and had too put my foot down more than I thought just to get in front

[grum]
