Just for the interest of UK members...

A shell tanker drivers strike wouldn't make a lot of difference over here... These days Shell, BP and Mobil seem to have minimal representation over here (certainly in Tassie anyway) Mainly Caltex/Castrol and an independent (United Petroleum)...

Regards,

Dazz

Darryl, I wouldn't put it past our lot here to blame the 'next' price rise due to 'uncertainty' in the European markets.

Strike OVER  

Watch. Now prices will go up to paying for the wage.

Nothing to do with oil at $140 a barrel
