Chuck,
The refinery at Ellesmere Port (just a few miles north of the Welsh border) 
re-opened for business this morning from 5 a.m. the blockade having been 
called off after the protestors felt they had made their point.
Although the media has made a large splash over what could be happening, 
reality, for me at least, was that nothing had really changed other than 
there were longer queues than normal at filling stations.
Last night I went to a soccer game at Manchester United, the media reckoned 
it would be only a quarter full through people unable to get there (a lot 
of supporters travel long distance) but nearly 63,000 attended, only a 
thousand or two short of maximum capacity.
One radio contributor (after the match) explained he was on his way back to 
Gloucestershire, 150 miles a way.
As ever the speculation on possibilities, which masquerades as 'news', ends 
up being re-served as genuine news on the next bulletin elsewhere.
Sad but true.

Add to that the fuel thrash going on over there (I read this morning that
the petrol stations in Wales are completely out), Ed probably has his hands
full at the moment. E-mail is probably the only thing moving in that part 
of
the UK.
