          Oh well I am in South Africa. I was just making a lame Zimbabwe vs. UK joke. Price of petrol here in South Africa at the coast is about R4.50 (38p) now. Pretty good compared to the UK but it is still expensive for us to fill up. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Colib and WebTwoZero.

                    In South Africa the price is roughly around R6 (+-66 pound) per litre (not even sure anymore with the constant price hikes) but in Zimbabwe the price is Zim $ 22300 .... sounds a lot doesn't it? but in actual fact it is only about 80 or 90 cents in US $ oops did the conversion the wrong way round (just saw Pauls most and it made me realize) i meant (+-0.5 pound)

                                  Why is this referred to a "panic" buying anyway? Surely most people are just taking the sensible precaution to fill up if they are going to be unable to fill up for a while? I filled up my car yesterday, and will be filling up a can or two tonight, with a cool head and no palpitations.
