Petrol shortage
"Drivers urged not to panic buy".
Could anyone guess what is going to happen next?

Re: Petrol shortage
Already happening in Macclesfield. The funny thing is, the Tesco petrol station in Macc has enormous queues, because it's the cheapest fuel in the area. However, the three Shell stations which are all within 2 miles of Tesco are fine - no queue, all pumps working - because their fuel is 6p per litre more than at Tesco.

Re: Petrol shortage
Im confidant our people are more sensible than that.
Now where can I get bog rolls and tins of beans this morning? I have made space in the shed for a pallet of corn flakes arriving later

Re: Petrol shortage
Yep, I have a skip of pasta being delivered this morning.
We should be proud of our (crown stamped, blue passport bearing) British common sense. After all it's not every collection of nations that can produce people who think it's sensible to stand in Leicester Square with an orange flare erupting from their @rse. |

Re: Petrol shortage
Conservative logic.
1) We're not short of petrol but short of HGV drivers (ok) 2) This is not caused by Brexit (Grant Shapps) 3) 14,000 EU HGV drivers went home because of pandemic and Brexit (just a minute...) 4) EU is short of HGV drivers (Grant Shapps again) 5) UK will offer visas for foreign drivers (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58687026) Where are the drivers coming from if the EU is already short? Perhaps Cruella Patel can interview the Channel migrants and keep the ones that can drive HGV?

Re: Petrol shortage
Yep, no petrol left around here by 9pm yesterday, if you exclude the petrol being burnt by cars waiting in queues to be told to f*** off.
