Parapou Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I always put £15 worth in and this still costs the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytreon Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 True...everyone is being affected, but i am looking for someone in particular who will be willing to be interviewed and tell me in detail how he/she is being affected and what he/she plans on doing about it. Its a tv news package and will only be used within the department of journalism studies. So if you do know anyone or if you could suggest someone in particular, that would be great. thanks again.

Bonny Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone who uses a vehicle in order to earn a living will be feeling it more than others. My step daughter is a driving instructor so her profit margin is being squeezed. I'm at home a lot of the time but totally rely on my car if I want to get anywhere. The soaring cost of petrol does not make me use alternative modes of transport - it just means I don't go as far or go out as often as I probably otherwise would.

fedupbob Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 While people are organising fuel protest's im not sure they are impacting. I would like to organise protest's on a larger scale with what i hope would make the government take note. The current odd protest is seeing trucks, bikers etc drive slowly on motorway networks, i would like to organise a nationwide protest in as many cities as possible on the same day. Im interested in getting a website up and running but this is not my strong point so if anyone can give me advice on this it would be appreciated. Im sure everyone out their like myself is sick and tired of being bled to death by the government and its time we took the same approach as our european neighbours and take action until we see results. What do you think are you willing to stand up and take action or just continue to let your life slip away into the government pot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_busdriver Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'd support it. Its getting to a point where I can't afford to go to work, I think £2 per litre would be enough for me to quit my job and sign on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikertec Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We couldn't really do that though with being a island. But we could block all the ports, same as the french did. I willing to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
