Fuel strike talks fail

BP tanker drivers are ready to begin a three-day strike at Scotland's only oil refinery after talks aimed at averting the dispute failed.

Aviation supplies and the oil company's petrol stations across Scotland and north-east England were expected to be affected by the dispute involving staff at Grangemouth, Stirlingshire.

The action over pensions and a shares scheme comes ahead of a continuous ban on overtime from Monday.
