+1!!! and i'd happy take a few days out of work to join in

I thought that they were meant to be rallying to do it again?

What we should fecking do is boycott the p1ss takers, texaco the biggest culprits.
£1.40 a litre of diesel by me, 6-8p more expensive than other local garages, always have been, every other texaco garage I have seen is just as expensive, even the ones I've used in America have been more expensive than others.

A protest in the form of a total boycott of a brand would have more effect than not buying your fuel on 1 day.

lol. Imagine if Martin Luther King and his crew boycotted buses for just one day, that really would have pushed the civils rights movement ahead with full force.

Sorry sir, your petrol is soo expensive I now refuse to buy from you on April the 1st. I'll fill up before though and will have to come back at some point, soo see ya soon.

if everyone told their bosses that they are not going into work till the price of fuel goes down and actually carried out the threat, i bet it would plummet overnight.

as a consumer society the gov depend on us buying things. no sales means no revenue for our dear gov.

So I quit my job, because that'll be basically what I would be doing, meaning I then have no money to buy fuel anyway... Yeah, I can see how the system works

who said anything about quitting your job...

I can assure you that if I refused to go to work on grounds of fuel costs it would be the same as quitting my job, just technically it would be me getting fired...
