I've just read through 9 pages on this thread and have heard how the Government are to blame or it's the Fuel companies, even the garage outlets. but what about the Tanker drivers?

They say that they want better health & safety conditions, bigger pension, improved sick pay - but may now settle for just a 27% pay rise instead!! These guys earn circa £900-00 for driving 37 hours a week and will be looking to collect a rise that is almost as much as I earn for a 48 hour week!
