medusa Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 UNITE have now officially called off their proposed strike over Easter, so can we now put all this ridiculous panic buying of fuel to bed? There is no need to queue for fuel that you wouldn't otherwise buy and that means that the people who are genuinely running out of petrol and therefore need to fill up can actually get to the pumps.

medusa Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Who the hell thought it appropriate to decant petrol in a room with a cooker burning? That's not following government advice, that's got a lot more to do with a Darwin Award. Much as I have sympathy with people who feel threatened by the potential of the lack of fuel, really, come on, at least do things sensibly. Why are you not allowed to smoke whilst filling up the car with petrol? Could it possibly be because it's both volatile and flammable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-17560534 Following government advice In all fairness the government advice wasn't to pour petrol into a jug in your kitchen next to an open flame. The poor victim deserves a Darwin award for that one. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-17560534 Following government advice what government advice? The only information given by the government was to direct questions from the media. It was the news agencies looking for a juicy story who fed this panic, not the government.
