In Nottingham last night was a nightmare! I'm very low on fuel and have work this weekend so will need to drive about 50 miles over the two days (not much I know but I'm running it dry at the moment!  :laugh:)

Didn't bother queuing up last night at Sainsburys or Tesco because it was outrageous, I'm hoping I'll be able to find one on the way to work early tomorrow when they aren't so busy :tongue:

Numpties one and all!  :angry:

Stuck is Morrisons car park in Neath for ages after taking my Gran shopping. FFS.  All the roads in and out blocked as well.  Chaos.  Fair play they had staff marshalling the roads, but the volume of traffic... ARGH!!!

There's no shortage of fuel and there's no strike announced.  Come on people!!

Idiots.

Had to purchase £5's worth of super unleaded for the dirt bike.  :grin:

Wonder if it will run any better. Noticed though, they charged £5.01. Looked at the machine and it was dead on £5.00. Robbing tw@ts.

Where all my moneys went.

Yes the idiots are emptying every station like f**king lemmings, my mrs nearly ran out on the way back from Reading earlier as she couldn't find any diesel. She did manage to get some £80 to fill up the mk4 shows just how empty it was !!

My brother was waiting with fuel warning light on and the BMW in front popped his boot with 4 containers, filled them up and then the tank as well...can't think why there might be an issue with the normal supply rates :rolleyes:

The garages and government will have made a killing on this, all the tax made on the fuel + the stations selling twice as much in one month......
The Tanker drivers all on OT up to the strike delivering more fuel and the fuel companies for selling more fuel.
The only losers are the people panic buying the fuel who did not need to spend the extra dosh on tanking their cars, and then the people who did not turn into Sheep......

All my local stations are empty and I have an 1/8 of a tank, which wont last with my thirsty old girl.
Looks like I will be breaking out my Shanks pony
