This photo was in yesterday's Daily Record. (Click on it to enlarge)

The text reads.......

"RING FOR A CAB!"
It's the longest taxi rank in the world-for now at least.
Cabs in the city of Chongqing in west China are forced
to wait on this roadway just to get a tank of fuel.
Parts of China are facing the worst gas and fuel shortage
in years.

There's no danger of that over here, especially now it's £1.10 a litre and rising once more.

What's the betting on £1.20 by January? :sad:

Is that a white Peugeot E7 on the top deck roundabout.

I bet they don't get parking tickets for over ranking!
