Apparently a load of motorcyclists did a "slow ride" protest and tied up the motorway at rush hour.

And higher wages, better social security, better public transport and infrastructure not build around the car.

Me and Mrs went for fuel at a BP garage today and the 1st thing she noticed was the 1.38 for a litre of diese, and she immedatly without saying something like "is that right?" is was "not going there" so we have to make a 300-400yrd change to Morrisons where is was 1.27.

Got to think about where you are going these days "free" lifts are now no longer happening and chargeing 20p a mile.

On a unrealated fuel issue my car (which I bought private) two weeks ago the fuel gauge which goes though the computer has died, so not sure if it is the gauge or a fault with the fuel computer (which died with it) as I put fuel in as I use (because I am cheap) this is a issue.
