Fuel

As the fuel prices in this country continue to climb rumours are starting to fly around that another fuel protest is immenent. Speaking with my work colleagues it seems there are mixed feelings about this, with quite a few not wanting this to happen because they are too dependant on their cars.

So I put this to you, if we don't protest what do we do instead? How can we force the goverment to reduce the tax on fuel?

There was a clip on the news last night. Woman pulls onto forecourt and is greeted by an attendant:

Attendant: Petrol or Diesel?
Woman: Petrol.
Attendant: OK, queue up over there. The wait's about an hour at this point.
Woman: OK.

Buh! I amused myself in the queues last night by revving my engine. I have enough fuel to last until next weekend so don't mind me :)
