Grangemouth to strike. People Panic...sigh

[Duncan_Mon]

Well, after hearing around a week and a half ago that Grangemouths, I think Scotlands only refinery, workers are going on strike this upcoming weekend it has now hit the papers and there appears to be a large panic.

BBC NEWS | Scotland | Tayside and Central | Refinery shuts down before strike

The 3 local petrol stations in my area are packed and have been for two days now non stop. I only stay in a small village and in a really quiet area aswell.

Most petrol stations have signs up such as "Another Tank Full will Arrive Tonight!".

Hopefully doesnt effect petrol prices to much, and at the end of the day, we can just have tanks come from down south, surely?

Anybody else?

Oh great, headless chicken time.

A bit like when it's Christmas and/or a flake of snow is expected and everyone decides that they need three week's worth of food.
