Cal,
Glad you posted that, I worked for Shell for 13 years, and all I ever got when I was at home was why does petrol cost so much???
I've tried explaining but people always think its the oil companies, the only winner in this country with high fuel prices, is Mr Brown and his cronies!
Just think what our fuel prices could be if we were independant (with the OIL, not without) in Scotland.
As an oil producing nation we pay the highest at the pumps, I've lived in other oil producing countries and no-one pays what we do, and we can make the stuff.
Its NOT the oil companies fault, they are in business to make money, just like any other business.
regards
Richard
