Hi,

Ref "Middle of Nowhere" ... the author's biggest problem was finding a constant supply of fuel while driving North through Africa.

Me? I reckon I could live with fuel rationing ... I brimmed the Freelander the day I bought it ... it's now down to quarter full. Barbara's Hyundai seldom moves.

Way off the mark I'm afraid. in 2019 Our biggest source by far was Norway with 17.5 million tons, with the US second by a long way on 11 million tons, then Algeria 4 million tons.

Overall we imported 47 million tons of Crude Oil & Liquid Gas last year.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/381963/crude-oil-and-natural-gas-import-origin-countries-to-united-kingdom-uk/

We've just finished watching the Norwegian TV series "Occupied" on Netflix, which has a scenario where Norway decides to go "Green" and announces it will tun off oil & gas production with a response from the EU of a plot with the Russians to take over the platforms and a Norwegian PM trying to stop all-out war breaking out...  Lots of plot turns & twists but you had better like reading subtitles.
Its nice to know the Norwegian for "Good" sounds the same as Scots "Braw".   :whistle

Much the same as some Georgie words being similar to the Nordic languages: bairn being one. The Vikings got a lot further than some people realise!

So not from the EU then?

EFTA, essentially following most EU rules but no seat at the top table. ( See also Switzerkland, Lichtenstein and Iceland)

I think most of our road diesel comes from continental refineries - our producing petrol and weren't converted when diesel was popular.
