Petrol/Derv price increases.........

This may be old news but spotted this on the BBC Website

"The first minister went on to say ferry operators such as Superfast, which has chosen to abandon its service between Rosyth and Zeebrugge, and other businesses were facing problems because of the rising cost of fuel."

I know a lot of people would rather head for the Newcastle ferry, but even still the Rosyth ferry was good!

I work for an oil company...... ..and as you can imagine, all within the industry are doing flick-flacks as profit margins explode. A sudden expansion of the motor market in India and China, demand going through the roof for an essential, but limited, resource - et voila.... $$$$$$$$

Oh, and the oil companies have the government by the balls. It amazes me the amount of oil execs who also hold token goverment posts, lobbying and weaseling their way through the entire system. I don't see it as a huge stretch to regard the oil industry and our western governments as one and the same.

So I'm training my Elise to run on Buckfast. Cheaper and much more fun.

Campbell - here she is.
