Does the sign look familiar...even if the numbers don't? It's from Oz where AtkiPete Lynch says: "G'day Brian, Truckies are not so happy down here either. Diesel has jumped 25 cents a litre over the past fortnight, well over the price of petrol which I understand is more expensive to produce.  Subbies are the worst hit,  A mate of mine who drives for one of the multinationals said they had only just got the last increase (from $1.30 to $1.55 ) passed on and he couldn't afford to go through the battle again. Anyone who is not getting these increases passed on immediately will have little choice but to park their truck...."
 
Thanks Pete, it's probably of small comfort----but nice to know the poms aren't the only ones suffering....
