I have 5x 20 litre jerry cans and ferries booked to pop over to frenchie & fill up diesel on the cheap.
If you were a proper contractor you'd be filling them with vintage champagne (from one of your own marques) and be using a nuclear powered Bentley that your man tops up with uranium every century or so.
I don't think anything will come of it - I've not seen much in the press about it.
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I'm not sure what to think about it. I was in hospital during the last protests in 2000 so it didn't affect me.
I read in the paper this morning, Gordo reckons the price of fuel "reflects the impact on the climate and pays for public services". Really?
It would be nice if everyone in the country took a stand and agreed to take the same day off each month and continue until the duty on fuel is lowered.
The cost to the economy would be gigantic. Just think, the entire country at a standstill for one day... I somehow think they'd listen for once.
I don't mind fuel being taxed highly - it does after all affect the environment.
Not that I really care about global warming debate I just think - don't want to breathe the tulip that comes out the exhaust pipe so dont do it but...
Give us alternatives!
When el Gordo passes a law to select a type of alternative fuel cell and standardises and attachment for LPG / Hydrogen and forces every garage in the UK to have the same number installed as petrol pumps jiff all is going to change.
I would get an LPG car but don't want to think if I am going to struggle to find a place to fill it up.
