No bitching about quality of the photo's. If you want to be a smart arse about these photos, open a word document and write to yourself.

Travelling down the M5 out of Blackpool [which is a hell of a place!] there was a demostration from Truck Drivers about the cost of fuel

When we were there [converted, we were paying] per litre

Petrol $2.20
Diesel $2.50

Shell tanker drivers went on a strike for 7days, meaning nearly 200 fuel stations ran out of fuel and left dozen's on fuel ration

Here is the demostration pictures, snapped through the car while travelling down south to Torquay

LED light bar Land Rover mmmmmm.

Four antenna's on the roof of the Volvo, I'm guessing for LoJack?
