Start panic buying -- petrol strike is coming! – London chat forum

[LEON]

I quite like a strike every now and then, to mix things up a bit. I can still remember the last one we had which was 12 years ago. (12 years ago? Has it really been that long???)
How cool would it be if we bought up all the fuel and it ran out, and we had to go to work holding a candle. Or we had to start sleeping at work in our pyjamas because all the buses and trains had stopped running.
Bring it on!

I like the fact that they are bringing in the army to keep the petrol moving. I want tanks driving down the street, busting their way out of the refineries and blowing missiles at the picket line. They should bring the air force in too, and drop the petrol in by parachute. What's the point of having an army if you cant use it.
We've got stacks of nuclear bombs as well, unused. We've never even used them. They are just sitting there gathering dust. Let's drop one on the next ESSO station to go on strike, as a lesson to all the others not to follow their lead
