That depends if you are transporting the jerry by car or on foot. I have often gone on foot if working just around the corner when its for filling tools or digger.

It looks like they fixed that anomaly in 2014 when they updated the rules. It used to state you couldn't dispense more than 10L into any container! Of course everyone just ignored it anyway! But you are not allowed to take more than 30L in any one go
The price of oil had actually dropped considerably before this latest fiasco! Food production is pretty labour intensive compared to oil.

This could be good news...I'm thinking the 20mph limit in London can't really be very efficient...maybe it'll go back up to 30mph?Appears we are likely to have a diesel shortage in the next few weeks. Gov' want to reduce speed limits to save fuel
The cost of electricity has been a big factor, too. Especially noticeable in eating establishments, having to pay through the nose to keep the places warm.

The government intervention will be - work from home .
Because we all know that all the real work is done on a computer .
I wouldnt be surprised - I didnt look at it properly!
Although a Bangladeshi takeaway owner I am friendly with - heart of Gold Arfur Daley type - was storing petrol in the bath during the fuel strike back in 2000 or so

Our plastics suppliers have told us that as from April 1st there will be a 20% increase in the cost of all mdpe products, noticed there was more stock in their yard than there has ever been so they will be raping us off the back of the mayhem.

At the end of the day its all relative as costs just get passed on to customers..Not so easy when you have about 30K worth of qoutes out there at old prices though

Temporary reduction in tax on fuel would be logical as other European countries have done, which would help the government reduce inflation but then they wouldn’t reap the higher tax income. I guess we know where their priorities lay.

Helping those without broad shoulders and of course themselves.
But look on the bright side, it saves them making a pigs ear of anything else while all this is going on.

It takes very wide shoulders to carry these increases. I wonder how long it will be before people can’t afford to commute or put on short time. Taking half measures will make a pigs ear of the economy though so never underestimate their ability to screw things up further.
On the bright side the roads are very quiet, nearly comparable to Covid.
The video isn't fake/ai generated if that's what you mean lol
Although it's expensive were still 20p per litre below summer 2022 prices, and people still managed to get to work and go on holiday then. So I can't see the government stepping in untill we surpass the 2022 high as a minimum, can you?

The most I paid was 184p while on hols in Cornwall in 2022, I think this time it's not the price but availability that's going to be the problem.
