Bootsha 1,306 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I work 6 days sometimes 7 days a week, shiftwork, and i barely earn what the "average" british wage is, and they earn £45 k a year and are moaning??ffs. I'm sorry to say gentlemen, this country of ours if f****d, and getting more f****d day by day. What would have happened out in France if all this shit was going on ??, the country would have been brought to a standstill!, take your hats off to the froggies, they're not as good at rugby as the Welsh , but they dont take shit like the rest of us do. Right, wheres me gerry cans............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxfan 479 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 As usual the media is putting their spin on this, the contractors mentioned use agencies to avoid any permanent workforce who would be eligible for sick pay, holiday pay etc. It says BP has 'around' 300 contractors (is that individuals) so 300 on 35k a year in the whole of the country? I reckon if you spoke to these drivers there wouldnt be many on that wage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,329 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I warned everyone months ago to get a few jerrycans in case the Iran thing blew up and they closed the straights of Hormuz, unfortunately I didn't take my own advice It's like the stock markets, the more people worry the more it hits the fan. Dont thank Iran, thank that red c**t Len McCluskey.........another f*****g union traitor to the UK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My old man was a tanker driver for shell. They do earn a good wage, but i guess it's a dodgy job hauling fuel. Ah good luck to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 45K eh, must look into a HGV license Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saharashadow 26 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Garages running out around here, and there isn't even a strike. Thank the government for causing panic. Suppose it diverts people's thoughts from the budget !! What the drivers earn is not the reason for the public panic buying. If they earned £20,000 a year we would have the same situation.

spade 224 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Not even given the required 7 days notice of strike action yet and people are going fu**in stupid. Our local filling stations have been wedged and saw a bloke today filling 3 of them little fuel containers . I'll be filling up when I need to and not when some twat tells me to. As for northernlite moaning about £1.32, I can't remember when diesel was that cheap round here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
