There's a certain irony of protesting high fuel costs by using fuel. Maybe they should cycle?
Fuel protests planned for A12 apparently.

I have abridged your post MattE but the sums the UK Guv, a few BILLION, are small compared to the multi billion, a quarter, EVERY 3 Months, that Shell and BP are profiting by.They reckoned Govt had benefitted to the tune of around £1.5bn (I think it was) year to date. Double that to £3bn for the full year and that's a big chunk of cash!
Combine that with what must be a massive increase in the fuel tax take - the Govt are coining it in
If you were told by someone that you could have a billion so long as they could have ten billion would you complain?I have abridged your post MattE but the sums the UK Guv, a few BILLION, are small compared to the multi billion, a quarter, EVERY 3 Months, that Shell and BP are profiting by.
I'm not surprised, my company fuel bill has gone up by £20k a month, lay off's could be on the horizon if it carries on.

You wont have worry about it too much longer when all the haulage firms are parked up. And I'll save you a walk to the shops because without haulage, nothing gets delivered, the shelfs will be empty.There's a certain irony of protesting high fuel costs by using fuel. Maybe they should cycle?
The thought of what lorry prices are could make you cry.I'm not surprised, my company fuel bill has gone up by £20k a month, lay off's could be on the horizon if it carries on.
When driving to Weymouth Monday dropped into Fleet services unleaded was £ 2.05 and Diesel £ 2.14
Know I know the services charge more but really that price, lucky I filled up at home and got there and back with a £ 10.00 top up

I suppose that’s less of a problem if no one can afford anything anyway…You wont have worry about it too much longer when all the haulage firms are parked up. And I'll save you a walk to the shops because without haulage, nothing gets delivered, the shelfs will be empty.
Well quite.I suppose that’s less of a problem if no one can afford anything anyway…
