Stock up on fuel so all the pikeys will know you have petrol and diesel in the shed and the rate of break ins will go up.

Maximum you can store at home legally without contacting the Petroleum Licencing Authority is 2 x 10l metal cans and 2 x 5l plastic cans, which mush all be of an approved design. 6.5 gallons is going to last very long with a V6 miggy.

Government don't want to be held over a barrel (no pun intended), by striking drivers, but they are creating a potentially dangerous situation by suggesting storing large quantities.

Tanker drivers days are numbered as they won't be needed with electric cars, which with improved battery technology, allowing flash charging on the horizon are only a few years from beginning to be mass market.

Government is already ramping up the tax on electricity with their carbon tax, which at £70 per ton in 2030, it is expected to cost the average household at least £500 per year.  >:( >:( >:(
