A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here
in Britain .
~~~
Well, there’s a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn’t know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in The North Sea
~~~
All Our DIPSTICKS are located in Westminster!!!
Any Questions ???
Boadicea's Chariot 
And the Scots think they own the tank and its contents! 😉
Plenty of gas in England though, and coal that can be gasified. This does not alter the fact that Westminster is full of dipsticks! 😦
