What's the latest regarding fuel in Scotland? I am driving up on the Saturday but will need to full up before I return.

You should be okay.

Guys went back to work today but it will take time to get that plant up and running.

Around my area, (Falkirk) no real problems, some petrol stations have reduced the number of pumps open. People just made sure that they were on full tanks before the strike, so calmed down now. Just waiting to see if there is going to be further strike action.

Can"t say specifically about Edinburgh, Falkirk is not far fron Edinburgh and I have not heard anything so I am sure it will be much of the same.


Cheers

I"ve noticed that in this area (West Yorks) the price of diesel has gone up about 3p a litre over the last 7 days - a possible case of the resellers taking advantage of some of the panic buying that"s been going on.

Have you seen a similar price rise in Scotland ?

What"s the betting that it"s not as quick to come down in price once the stocks are back to normal......?
