Me. Hoping to fit in the 35 CPC hours I need to get my first card over the next few weeks and then start job hunting.

That 35 hours will be the biggest waste of time in your life.

At the end of it you will not be a better driver, you will be no more use to anyone than you are now. The best thing the government could possibly do right now would be to scrap CPC and let the drivers on the road, sack the "teachers" and get them driving too as surely as they know so much about the job they would be better out driving than in a classroom. What's that you say? the teachers don't have a HGV license?

It’s fuel madness out there.

I’ve just queued for nearly two hours to top up the Transit.

Only cost me £6.40, mind.

That's about the strength of it, everyone topping up for £15 and the guys on empty can't get feck all.

Wazzocks!

That makes no sense. Everyone has the same opportunity to fill up. Why would those low on fuel not be able to pull in and wait as well? I literally did that today. It sucks fat balls but hardy headline news.

It make a lot of sense, people queuing and blocking up roads just to top up car and it will probably sit in drive for the rest of the week apart from popping  kids to school just down the road with in walking distance.

I had to queue for 10 minutes and just squeezed 10 litres in but the trip odometer said I only had 10 miles left,  wish the bike had a bigger tank.

If I were a shell manager I would stick a penny a litre on, make hay while the sun shines.

 

Keep the price just low enough to keep the pumps fully utilised and watch what the competition do.

 

Proper supply and demand economics.

The firm EG (Euro Garages) based up here have stations nationwide, have just announced a £30 limit. Could well pass onto Asda petrol stations aswell as the same people bought it from Walmart
