Until large quantities of people act nothing will be done. Prices will soar and our cost of living will go with it.

What can be done?

Riots....Looting.......Hanging Parliamentarians....... Or perhaps the usual good old bend over and we take it like we normally do.

I would prefer this......'BigPower Members March On Parliament'.....'Gordon Brown Hanged For Treason Against UK Drivers'.

Sorry, wishful thinking :lol:

I'll be right behind you Stuart ;) so long as BigFil is in front of you. :D
He looks pretty handy and these demo's can get a bit hectic :lol:

A 'demo' can and should only take place with the permission of the local authorities anyway, so BigFil and I at the front may not be necessary (unless you lot want to carry us like Kings of old, aloft on thrones of carbon and stainless)

Joking aside, if there is momentum for something like this, I would be happy to sit down and draw up an agenda for a petition.

We would need serious numbers to create a stir though. Thousands. And we won't be driving in. The congestion charges would be horrendous :D

Prices are so high know that it is quite likely that at some point nearing payday... That thousands of motorist could run out of petrol during the morning rush hour blocking all major routes into the major cities :!:

Well it could happen.
