Fuel strikes?

[Mawsley]

Garden rage broken out between two of my chickens, around five minutes ago, as the supply of sweetcorn and leftover lasagne started to run low.

It's going to be a summer of hate.

Drove in to my local tesco petrol station this morning, was in and out within 5 minutes, no queues and she said they'd just had a delivery overnight.

I hope I'm going to be OK getting home tonight. Ten minute walk to the pub, then five minutes to home sweet home. I hate commuting.:icon_bigg

My mum now has a water tank full of diesel, and three large mugs full of unleaded

And she doesn't even drive

I've just shit myself. End.

Perfectly sensible course of action, if you ask me - there are complete nutters up and down the country barging their way onto forecourts, and trailing traffic queues onto the roads

So yes, they are actually helping the situation by preventing the thick ignorant public from doing themselves harm

Make sure you don't flush it away - you might need those waste products to make your own fuel, when the wells run dry later this evening

 

[camberwell fox]

I know, but I appear to have run out of fairy liquid.

Bugger the petrol, are there any pasties left.? (Or mini boeuf-en-croutes as I expect you call them in Cleggyland).

The police don't even have the authority to close a forecourt, or any other business, they've just suggested it might be a good idea

KEEP PANICKING !!!

My struggling employers are doing nicely from this...

And when there is no petrol left to sell the tax man will not make anything. It's all swings and roundabouts. The overall consumption of petrol or diesel isn't likely to increase over time.

I have a 200 mile journey home tomorrow and I don't have enough petrol. I keep passing places that have sold out or have hiked up their prices to a level I refuse to pay. I'm hoping things will have calmed down a bit tomorrow and I'll be able to get home.

Yes it is. You use far more fuel driving to find a petrol station that still has supplies and then leaving your engine idling for ages whilst at the back of a long queue!

 

[M17TT C]

How many times have we actually ran out of fuel before? I'm only 26 but pretty sure it's never happened in my lifetime.

Doubt it will happen, typical government scaremongering/trying to cover a cash shortfall at the end of the month/year, and even if it does my old tin box tractor will run on pretty much anything that burns apart from unleaded so plenty of options!

Also, the extra weight of a full tank also consumes more juice than if you just top up regularly and drive around with a 1/4 tank

I have 1000gallon tank full only set back is its red.
