Max, well, possibly a bit extreme but with so many strange decisions being made these days I'm sure a few unusual and possibly unauthorised middle-management decisions could slip through although simple cockups are probably more likely reasons.

We are at the point where winter spec. fuel would be coming into distribution (possibly less of a concern in the UK) and we ARE being advised that having more ethanol in the fuel means it does not store so well for so long ...

Just saying.

There is a great little book, written in the mid 1800's about "The Madness of Crowds".

One sometimes wonders whether there may be some people trawling through for ideas about how to generate similar responses to those of the Crowds mentioned therein but in the modern era.
