On May 15th 2008, everybody needs to go out and panic buy CARROTS
This site stems from a drunken idea that that everybody should go out and panic buy a certain product on a specific day. I'm not quite sure what the reason behind this is is, other than the fact that a global shortage of carrots would be quite a laugh.

The Ineos facility is the only crude oil refinery in Scotland
Bosses at Scotland's only crude oil refinery have started a shutdown after claiming an impending strike will compromise safety.
Ineos said the Grangemouth refinery could shut for "at least a month", and warned of major fuel shortages.
About 1,200 members of the Unite union are to strike on 27 and 28 April in a dispute over pensions.
Scottish ministers urged both sides to try to resolve the dispute, instead of "trading commentary" in the media.
