Petrol Protests - Next Wednesday

[Alf Essex]

Guys,

I read in the daily mail this morning about the planned petrol protests next Wednesday. For those North/East of London they are targeting the Dartford bridge with slow moving lorries on the Wednesday.

Just a heads up, I'm sure someone will know more and the likelihood of whether it will happen on PH...if so please shout.

Alan.

Oh good, I'm collecting my friend from near'ish to the Dartford tunnel on Wednesday night! Deep joy.

Could they not do it after Wednesday - I don't care what happens after that - it'd be a real shame if I couldn't get back to work.....

i expect to be crossing the Dartford Bridge about 8pm on wednesday heading for the tunnel. as long as i can get to the tunnel for thursday morning i won't mind. they can block the road all day. good luck i support their attempts to reduce our scandilous fuel prices.

Oh great! That could seriously inconvenience the Mid-Essex Logistical Support Unit .

dont worry - local PHer to that neck of the woods. Last petrol protest he must have been the only one in the country on a track day...

[V8 Archie]

I guess the obvious reason for it not affecting him is that he can't get into the boot for his spare fuses .

I have enough fuel in the TVR (and the Garage) to get me to Portsmouth on Wed Evening.
As long as im on that Ferry, the UK can fall into Anarchy

[Piglet]

D'ya think we could incite mass port blocking on either side of the channel so that we can't get back from le mans?? Dreadfully sorry mr boss, I've had to pitch the tent in france for another week

agreed. especially as i am off down through france and andorra after le mans so dont give a hoot.

oh, and living 12 minutes from the ferry port means i can push the TVR down there if i need to.

......Yep,were filled to the brim and ready to roll!"Ain,t no stopping us now were on the move!"

[flasher]

Ditto. Tanked up the Maser to the brim tonite and apart from Stanford Hall on Sunday (italian car day, which is 8 miles from here)I wont use it. I should have plenty to make France......

Le Mans will not be missed!

[Piglet]

Ha! I now have over 700 miles worth of fuel in the tank - let them do what the they want!

I hope I have enough for that journey. If not I'll just push it to the docks!

[Don]

I'm keeping all three cars topped up to the brim...

Last time I was caught out with nothing in the tank...I was stuck for a week!

[snorky]

just seen on the BEEB website that the protest has been called off....phew !

[Gaffer]

But according to the guy at the Shell petrol station last night Shell are putting up the price of Optimax to £1.00 per litre at the weekend.

Well thats the shell garage in Manchester anyways.
