        I've been laughing to myself all this week as I have been driving past all the petrol stations and seeing all the people panic buying , Stupid Sods , and some garage's were limiting how much people could buy.

        I went to my Local garage this morning , no queue , no limit to how much petrol people could buy .

        Got my normal amount of petrol , No Panic

          no sympathy for car owners,even if fuel was ?2.50 a litre they woild still pay,as a car is a must,they cant get by without,they get lazy,corner shop along road from me takes me 126 secs to walk,i see people getting in cars drive to shop for newspaper or rolls,drivers are selfish as well,seen me and kids in middle of road on island,do drivers slow down to let you cross.not.i have in past counted up to 35 cars drive past,they dont need to stop just slow down to let you cross,jeez a roundabout is 100 yards down road,gonna have to slow for that,so now i be selfish as them,every green man i pass i press the button whether crossing or not,they will slow down or stop,a car is a way of life for people now,even my mate who has a car wont go to a shop unless it has a car park,wont walk anywhere,has never been on a bus and is 56,i would like to see a survey of women.1 choice get rid of the car or your partner,be a lot of lonely men going about.i pay the price for my luxury cigs,so car drivers stop moaning and pay the price for yours.before anyone mentions smoking and passive smoking,think about the kid in a buggy looking into the exaust of a car and breathing in the fumes,100 times more than a cig,had my rant,happy now.
