Panic at the Pumps
I popped to my local Sainsbury's to get some food today, it was a nightmare to get in as the queues to the fuel station was beyond a joke.
I warned my sister on the family WhatsApp group. She, my brother-in-law and niece all reported madness at the pumps on their routes to work. I always fill up when I hit 1/4 tank left, but will wait a bit. Trouble is, I 100% guarantee the pump prices will go up, and I already pay £1.50 a litre. |

SWMBO tanked up her car today (on orange and she’s back to work next week) our local filling station was busier than normal but no long queues, we are starting to see a couple of stations in our area close however.

Talking to the manager at the local Toby that is next to Sainsbury's apparently the petrol station was dry at 9 this morning.
Huge queues this afternoon and they had staff vetting those trying to enter the site. Glad the tank in the car is 3/4 full. |
Re: Panic at the Pumps
First I knew about this was queues at Morrisons today.
I was getting low as I havent filled up since August, so went to pop in today, and wow ... Took me about 10 minutes to get to a pump, still, that should do me until November now. |

Right, because no one else ever would have predicted that.

Re: Panic at the Pumps
Well it only takes somebody in El Gov. to say there's no shortage to provoke utter panic.

I blame the wording the News channels use, they said issues getting fuel to stations and muppets panic. |

There's that idiot Shapps saying there's no fuel shortage at the refineries (knowing full well that it's at the pumps and drivers where the problem lies). People will always panic and do what they feel they must to mitigate their situation. Smug politicians make things worse. Then there's that bumbling fool Boris telling 200 or so bemused UN delegates of Kermit's relevance to climate change. He's not fit to be running the UK; spouting off about climate change whilst the UK crumbles to dust around him. Jeez. |
Re: Panic at the Pumps
I went for petrol just then and they only had E10, no E5 or diesel.
