A Virtual Book Tour Podcast for the book "Fuel", an account of how in 2000, an organized protest by lorry drivers, farmers and fishermen, who were being squeezed out of existence by the high price of fuel in the U.K., blocked entrances to numerous oil refineries in England, and brought the country to an unexpected standstill. "Fuel" is the memoir of two Americans who got stranded in Cornwall, the southwesternmost "toe" of Britain during the fuel protests of 2000. What was planned as a glorious vacation in the "English Riviera" turned into a journey of inconvenient lessons, as the entire country came to a screeching halt, due to lack of petrol.

This is the first in an ongoing series of readings from the book "Fuel - Memoirs of a Crisis". This reading reveals the very start of the experience of Kay and Laney's trip to Cornwall -- their plans, their hopes, their run-ins with a "carry-on vigilante" at the airport, and the foreshadowing of events to come, thanks to a businessman on a red-eye back to London.
