Mea Culpa. Yup, like all the other idiots, I queued for 45 minutes to fill up yesterday at my local petrol station (which had already run out of diesel and this morning is out of ALL fuel) but at least I have a full tank even though I don't believe it's as bad as the press make out; so, yes, I'm as much to blame as everyone else!
PS seems the McAfee spam is (STILL, even today) mostly a common, Virgin Media problem and has been since last year FFS!
