Given the shortage of drivers, it’s guess it’s going to take a while for all these stations to be able to reopen. Some will but it’ll be a mess for a couple of weeks now. It sounds like daily restocks are happening, so surely only a matter of time before the fuckheads who are panic buying all have full tanks and things can start to go back to normal. |

I use half a tank a day in my work van and it has half a tank left in it. If I can't fill it tomorrow it will be stuck at the depot on Tuesday. Won't just be mine either as we have about 150 vans at our depot alone. Nobodys shit will be getting delivered if we cant fill them pretty soon!

That's what I thought about bog rolls and that didn't work out so great. Driving up the M1, quite a few services were indicating that the garages were only servicing HGVs. Luckily I've got enough in to get home again.

Anyone struggling to get fuel in your area? Touched lucky and the Esso near us had a delivery, was driving back from the gym and topped up enough for the school runs this week. As I left the queue was rapidly increasing!

All the petrol stations near us are out. I'm hoping my half a tank lasts long enough for the panic to die down.

Interest in electric cars will get a boost from all this.

From a brief and rare look on Facebook there’s nowhere with petrol within about 20 miles of here. A lot of people that have to drive for important reasons are now panicking.

Problem is all the big stations near me have all been closed for most of the day. So I'm assuming this will continue for at least another few days due to the knock on effect.
I'm on just over half a tank so good for a while. Just the one airport pick up in Luton so I won't be going full Mad Max just yet.

We’re suspending competition laws allowing oil firms to share information now though, that’ll sort it

We interrupt your usual programming to bring you live footage of someone know as "EG Load $" tearing the insignificant town known as Luton apart.
Witnesses say he repeatedly said that 'he just wanted a Scotch Egg and a half tank of fuel', but when those items were unavailable he began to tear children out of their carseats, subsequently holding them above his head while screaming "THE SNACK GOD SHALL HAVE HIS SACRIFICE!"
Over to Emma with the weather.

Half about 1/2 tank in the car which should last me about a week I think. Will hopefully be able to jump in somewhere before I run out but there is no chance I'm queuing, hopefully the Muppets will all have their fuel soon enough and it will be back to normal.

Great the cunts in power are planning to lower the amount that student loan repayments kick in.
Honestly I'm fucking sick of these fucking cunts and I hate this fucking place. It genuinely makes me want to top myself because there's so much unrelenting shit and I can't forsee any particularly good future.
Levelling up lol

Don't know but the current situation seems like a wonderful opportunity to get out of paying your tax bill if you're an unscrupulous rich arsehole who owns one of the very few oil refineries in the country during a growing fuel crisis |

Just imagine the shame of smearing good old trusty British Colemans all over your puckered starfish only to realise that it's horrible diluted American mustard. Barely even a tingle! |

And the new government plan is to get the army in to help. If only the army wasn’t so tiny these days.
