I should perhaps have also mentioned "while bunging your mates a few £million, or is that £billion" to make it look like your are sorting out the mess that the Civil Service are capable of handling but you choose ignore them.

Apparently someone scrawled "If you voted for Brexit, go to the back of the queue" on a petrol station sign today. I agree with that.

You can't get into or past supermarkets for normal shopping right now with the bog-roll brigade blocking every road to the one's that sell petrol. Just glad that I'm not having to drive (much) right now as I don't have enough fuel in the tank to do what would have been my once normal commute for a day. It means no hours, no work = no pay but it's preferable to sitting in a queue for petrol for an hour or two with the dickheads. Hopefully it will have calmed down by the weekend, but the dickheads will probably still come out to top up that bit they need to get them to the petrol station and back home again.

Someone said there should be a minimum payment of £50, not a maximum of £30 on the radio today. I agree with that too.

At £1.30/litre (and most garages, not supermarkets, charge way more), that's 38.46 litres, or a squirt under 8.5 gallons. Surely most family cars and even some little sugar lumps on wheels these days have at least 10 gallon (45.4 litre) capacity, but if not they'll go for about a year on one tank of fuel anyway.

Meanwhile I'm considering turning my electric golf cart (no it's not a ride on job) into a souped up Sinclair C5. Call it a 5.05. It can do nearly 4 miles on one charge. The brakes might need a bit of work. Sticking a putter under the front wheel is only going to do so much.
