UK Panic Buying Fuel
-
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)

Just walked past the local garage in Bristol and it's not happening here yet. Mind you the price was only 98.9p/lt!! reedo

I asked what was special, not why it was so dirty.

While it is still cheaper our earning power is less so you can't convert so literally. regards, Paul Watson South Africa Colib and WebTwoZero. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

I've just been to the garage to get a can of coke, and it's started again, panic buying fuel, people queueing are the roads to enter the garage. Is this happen anywhere else or just Manchester UK? Blogless
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.

The blockaders' aim of getting Gordon Brown to reduce the tax on fuel is misdirected: proportionally there is less tax on fuel now than at the time of the last blockades, and the tax that is paid is at least put into firemen's and nurses' pay, the health service, roads etc. The real problem is the fuel companies.

The problem with buying fuel on a Sunday night to avoid the Monday queues is that everybody does it. It's like everyone leaving work ten minutes early to avoid the queues - it just moves them forwards ten minutes. Catch-22. There is definately no panic-buying down here though. The news is reporting no panic[^] too.

Is everyone so much in synch in the UK that they need to buy fuel at the same times?? Or are the pumps closed by early evening? Seems odd to me to even consider when to buy. BW
Meanwhile, behind the facade of this innocent looking bookstore...

Which is why I leave 10 minutes late. :) I don't have anyone waiting at home, so I can wait until the queue empties and drive home leasurely. Waiting is far worse than working late. :cool: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.
