Icanc4miles Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 How can this incompetent man stay in his highly paid job after creating a public panic? His words didn't make me morinically panic buy petrol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What, precisely, is careless and panic-sparking about saying that there's no need to panic, just keep topped up and store a bit in hand as anyone with common sense would normally do anyway? The use of the word "jerry-can" was unwise given that most people are insisting it means a 20 litre can - even though for the last forty years, I've heard it use to describe any can of any size used for storing liquids. Nick Robinson seems to suggest that the Government have done this deliberately. Keeping filling up half empty tanks is poor advice anyway, as it increases fuel consumption. I don't keep my tank filled up routinely. I fill up when the fuel light comes on and then drive until the fuel light comes on again. I'll be continuing to do that. If there isn't any petrol left, I'll walk:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balpin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Apparantly he was called to the Bar in 1977. From his inane comments, its seems he is still at the Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Dog Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 let me get this right, a m.p should resign becuase the people in this country cant help themselves with mass hysteria at the thought of being with petrol for a few days ??? that man offered advice, thats it, the fact people were so damn selfish and HAD to a full tank speaks volumes for the supposed education system of the last 20 years. ohhhhhhhh peeeeeerrrlease No he should resign because he's prompted 'mass hysteria'. People look to government ministers to offer sensible advice; he gave bad advice and should go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Dog Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 his careless words havent started the mass panic, its the stupidity/ selfishness of the people thats created the mass panic, do you honestly know 2 people who said something like "the m.p on the telly said we need to fuel our cars to the rims " ??? im all for people having to resign if they commit crimes but seriously this panic is a farce, and a damn slow news day ! nothing more But he should know that there are lots of selfish and stupid people out there. As they said during the war, loose lips sink ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they aren't striking - they've voted to strike, but are at ACAS having discussions about how to avoid a strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
