Silly Fuel

It now seens that there is to be no tanker drivers strike over  Easter.  The recent fuel buying panic must be one of the few occasions in modern history where a government has actually gone out of its way to generate panic amongst its citizens.  The irony of course is, that had there actually been a strike, government ministers and senior civil servants would probably have been the last  people to be affected as no dout, they have contingencies to cober such situations,
I suspect that one of the reasons for the panic may well have been that there has been an almost continual decline in the number of fuel outlets in recent years.  Gone are  the days when Silverton had Brady's or West's Garages to turn to. Now its the Speedway Garage on the Exeter road 2 miles away and thats it.  I expect the recent panic will have done the sale of Bicycles no harm at all.
