I Think The Petrol Queues Are Subsiding.......

[ToraToraTora]

err indoors has just driven by several with no queue, one garage is rationing it to £30 per customer but there was no queue. I think all the panick buyers have now filled up everything they have. I saw some nobedski with about 6 petrol cans yesterday! PMSL

A hermaphrodite perhaps Naomi.Perhaps.

Shrug.

[ynnafymmi]

Shush,hun.Shush.You are getting carried away with your own rhetoric now.

[naomi24]

Ah, a girlie.

// The Petrol Retailers Association has warned that as many as two-thirds of its membership of nearly 5,500 independent outlets are out of fuel, with the rest of them "partly dry and running out soon". //

CLANG! The sound of reality hitting TTT with his head in the sand.

No queues here as no petrol :-)

[gulliver1]

Boris to call in the army to ease petrol queues, the whole Country grid locked with drivers looking for Petrol ,ambulances running out of fuel. But not where TTT lives of course,, PMSLA

[ladybirder]

What an unkind person you are Gulliver. You really think it's something to laugh at when ambulances are running out of fuel?

[naomi24]

He's sick.

[ToraToraTora]

nasty left showing its true colours again I see.

[SparklyKid]

Got £15 of diesel last weds. Still got 225 miles left.

Should last a week. I only put a bit in at a time, I wait till I have 50 miles worth left.

10.41 Its all in your mind L.B

MIL was complaining about selfish people rushing out to fill up there cars when it was not required - then could not see the irony that she said she had half a tank of petrol so filled it up so she would not get caught out.
She only does 600 miles a year so half a tank would last her months!

[naomi24]

That's what happens, RH. People who would not normally panic buy feel they have to because if they don't they'll be left short... and they would.

[Redhelen72]

Naomi - half a tank of petrol would last her months and months - she never drives more than a couple of miles.
So she would not miss out on anything.

[naomi24]

I know. Daft isn't it. Like people stashing multiple packs of toilet rolls. How many does anyone really need?

[ichkeria]

Our local Sainsbury’s petrol station, which had had queues of sheep at the wheel outside it stretching round the car park, has been closed now for three days.
Which makes you wonder just how serious this is: if there’s no petrol at the pumps, then it doesn’t matter how much there might be in stock elsewhere: that’s a shortage

My brother is coming from Wales by train on Thursday to stay with me overnight and pick up his newly purchased Jaguar the next day. I'm doubting I will have enough petrol to drive him to the garage a few miles away to pick up the car and also whether he'll be able to get the petrol to drive it back to Wales again.

As an aside what are "independent outlets" - does that include Shell & Esso & all the supermarkets?
