Dorset police have just called for ALL the petrol stations in the county to temporary close due to the panic buying and disruption on the roads  :o

Indeed - my mum walked to Sainsbury this morning as she always does and found that the place was completely gridlocked with people trying to get into the petrol station which in turn jammed the people trying to get to Sainsbury for shopping, which in turn spilled out onto the main road, which in turn.. well, you get the picture ;D

The retards of this country have handed the tanker drivers victory without them having to lose a day's pay. In fact, I wouldn't mind betting they are cashing in driving every hour their tacho lets them at the moment. >:(

Ok, so I've got my petrol home.

Now where am I supposed to store it all?

The bath is already full of stamps and pasties

Totton, Southampton. Cued for ten minutes. Few cars around but not much more than a normal Saturday morning. Police officer in the garage asked a few of us if we really needed fuel. I got chatting to him. I was empty (25miles showing) however he did say a old duffer (my words not his) Cued then managed to squeeze a whole 4 quid in.

You can all thank the media and government for this! >:( The media just mention the words fuel and strike in the same sentence and the whole rather country rushes to the pumps. Then you get these bloody idiots politicians advising everyone to stock up with fuel in jerry cans and store them at home!! :o Word fail me for God's sake.........the strike hasn't even been confirmed yet!! ::)

No doubt we'll now see a further increase in the price of fuel thanks to this little charade, and it won't go down when it's all over either - thieving barsteward garages! >:( >:( >:(

Well, managed a tank of 95 RON weasel pee from Morrisons on the way home from work. Got home, dodging the bits of the map where there's pinking, drained it into my government approved :P 20L jerry can and went to the local garage and filled it again with Super Unleaded.

Garage had one normal unleaded pump, a couple of super, and no diseasel.

There were almost fisticuffs over the 95 RON pump. Nobody wanted to pay the extra few pennies for the super, so I drove straight up there and brimmed it.

Now, imagine you drive a tractor. You're on vapour. No local garages have diseasel any more. You pull into one and find the diseasel pumps closed. Do you:

1) Nurse it gently on to the next petrol station. Maybe they'll have some.
2) Flail around the forecourt shouting obscenities for 30 seconds before betting back in your L200 Warrior (W**ker, more like) and tear off in a cloud of black smoke, leaving 20,000 miles worth of rubber on the forecourt and nearly flattening another customer as they walk out of the shop.

It's a tough one, I'll grant you that. ::)

Much the same up this way today.

Two backwoods county towns in rural Fifeshire one with a Tesco fuel stop and the other with a Shell (and a Morrisons, but couldn't be arsed to explore that far up country...) and both either out of fuel or queued back to hell and beyond.

Drove past the LARGE Q at Tesco's and drove very gingerly southwards playing that really fun game (whilst in a customer car) of balance the yellow fuel light duration glowing like a searchlight at you with your personal needle/guage-v-range guestimate.

I won.

Got to BP at destination with no Q (but elevated prices, normal for that garage) and slung a tenner in for goodwill.

Getting too old for these guessing games, I reckon!!   ;D
