Petrol queues everywhere
Once more, the queues for petrol and diesel are to be seen around town! It seems that the ET (emergency taxi) and bus drivers had used up all their fuel over the holiday weekend, and on Tuesday and Wednesday they were jamming the roads as they squeezed into the fuel queues. Now, towards the end of the week, the ordinary motorist is in the queue with them. Running a car has become so expensive, let alone the time wasted in queuing for petrol.
Plenty of people I have talked to have cancelled their fully-comprehensive motor insurance policies, and are down to the bare minimum cover required by law; if they have an accident, that’s the end of their car, as they will never be able to afford another one.
