How is the current problem affecting everyone?

All I wanted to do today is put petrol in to get to work, and couldn't anywhere where either its open or no cars lining up !

What on earth are people thinking? If there was going to be strike there would 7 days notice.

I was hoping to go shopping this weekend with the kids, which I am going to need petrol for, but at this rate I got no chance, either that or I line up and look like a numpty !

All 3 cars full - not because of the potential strike but because they were all empty!!
So Celica will last 2 1/2 weeks and the other 2 probably 1 to 1 1/2 weeks each.

I drove past five petrol stations on way too work and none of them had any fuel, never mind what I need ... no queue's though lol .. I had less than a quarter tank and in a supra that disappears in moments, so I had to find somewhere on the way home as a matter of urgency... I had to queue in BP... haven't been in BP for over a decade.. sorry car

It's fine here. We've got 3 petrol stations to not very many people, and Esso and Tesco both got refilled today so even if there were people dumb enough to be panic buying (which judging by what the rest of you are saying, there are) it wouldn't make much difference. No queues or owt!

Sam, it's time to give in to Tesco 99 Wink
