petrol (except when imported from Singapore) comes from our one and
only - BP - refinery.

Well if what you say is correct Paul, then even the "extra" safety devices

No matter what, it's a disaster always in the making.

The way things are going you may not be able to buy BP fuel of any sort,
They're talking about the cost this incident being the end of BP
