Re: Crisis
I have no proof that the most important thing is what will the powers that be do about all?
For once you are correct.
I and many, do have hope.

Re: Crisis
you realise that you are part of the problem by making unfounded statements, based on your political beliefs
Any credibility you had is now gone.

Re: Crisis
You never had any, I am not at all political,
most of your posts in this thread alone have been.
In all reality the truth seen here is: It has been a week of queues, empty pumps,
caps on how much petrol or diesel you can buy and price rises in Wales.
We are meant to be happy, no way.

Who said or did what we probably never ever get to the bottom of it.
As for a shortage of drivers there are exactly the same amount of HGV drivers in the UK as there was this time 3 months ago.

Hoyer is a subcontractor to BP, so wage demands would be on Hoyer, not BP. If Hoyer were not making enough money it would be down to their contract negotiation with BP

Re: Crisis
Typical found out and flounder, blame everyone else, not me.
Cannot take responsibility for your actions
Tony agree, Hope's problems but I belive BP with a little engineered the crisis to deflect from the upcoming dispute

Re: Crisis
Give it a rest, I would not have replied at all if you had not done your norm,
The add: I belive BP with a little engineered the crisis to deflect from the upcoming dispute
As you ask all, where is your proof.
More important things occurring, Black History month and more,
will leave you to come up with solving the problem for the all the
other mess your leader creates.
End of from me, lest you carry on.
Best leave me out of your conversations,
I will ever if pushed tell it as it is, not make up
all and more like you do.
