Fuel!! Grrrrr!

Ive had to put bloody Supreme Unleaded in my car today for work because of the muppets that are panick buying fuel and there's no normal unleaded left.

Ridiculous! And as much as I'd rather be sunning myself at home, I've had to go to work. Please England, return to normal! Lol.

Same here, had to fill my hire bike this morning so I could get to work, took 30 minutes and the floor was slippery as hell from all the peeps over filling their diesel 4x4s... not happy!

Couldn't work out why all the queues at some petrol stations - especially as it seemed to be the ones with the highest prices.
Some had taken to parking in the road with hazards on waiting for the fuel tanker to complete its dump (or should that be drop ), traffic jam was horrendous.

Completely ruined my intended ride-out after work last night - muppets.

Similar happened when it snowed, you'd think every food shop was closing down for ever that day - don't need a riot here to clean shops out, just a rumour [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Makes the idea of an Electric Sports bike sound even better, like the electric Cat someone posted a little while ago!

No panic in the Highlands, ride/drive into any fuel station no que's..

Cool a feck us Highlanders

my local cheapest fuel station in the midst of all this jacked its price up by 2p from yesterday, cheeky barstewards!

Camerons probably just done all this to stop him getting flak for his expensive lunch and dinner dates.....

Same here in the Borders, well Langholm at least!

Did WWIII blasted well break out !

Every bloody fuel station either empty or has queues 30 minutes and masses of cars long !!! and then the impatient queue jumpers . . . . . why ???

What the heck will it be like if/when the tankers DO go on strike and it's not just a rumor

Thought the local fire chief was gonna busta blood vessel on TV over that bloody fool MPs suggestion to fill a jerry can and store it in ya garage

Bloody panic buyers are CAUSING a fuel shortage D'oh

Petrol and diesel sales up 80% on yesterday, it's a joke, it's the same at Christmas, the supermarkets are shut for two days and people fill 2 and sometimes 3 trolleys full of food as if we're at war, sometimes Joe Public needs a good slap. The news channels as well make a mountain out of a molehill to dramatise and sell ratings but this just panics the public even more.

Turn off you televisions and radios for a couple of days and it'll all go away.

though one plus is no one will be on the road as they'll be queuing to fill up....might head out on the cat test my new riding kit and see if theory is correct

Don't blame you

Be weary of the forecourts though guys 'n' gals, numpties are overfilling their vehicles and it's slippery as hell. Almost dropped the hire bike when I slipped in a puddle of the stuff!

That's what I've done, but hard to miss the queues on the road, so glad I walk to and from work! Only on the bike today because I'm off to see a presentation / talk by Lois Pryce.

That OK as long as you don't pass any garages on the way - that was my plan last night but with people blocking the road it was difficult to get through even on a bike.

I'm rather glad I filled up last weekend, price seems a bargain now.

I'd far rather be out on my bike but that's on empty too!!

thankfully i am abit in the sticks so i can go the opposite way from all the queuing

No panic in Strathclyde either.
We don't do stress any more, it's bad for the alcoholism heart.

If you can't make it to work through no fault of your own, why worry?

I filled up the bike on Tuesday. No issues then.

I assume everyone is getting in there before the weekend. Hopefully it will sort itself out before next (long) weekend and Wee Mac.

Mind you by next week there will probably be snow on the ground as well!

Aye, it's getting a bit chilly again.

Old Scotish saying: Ne'er cast a cloot till May is oot. >insert missing(?) Wink emote here<

My Grandma used to say 'Ne'er cast yet clout till Mays out' and she was English through and through lol.

I cast me clout 30 years ago lol.

Interesting, but at the same time slightly disturbing.

>can't edit my own post..the emote has gone< [insert missing Wink emote here]

-edit- Ahh, I see it now.

Went out with a girl who cast her clout once.......didn't last!!

She threw her rag?

Haha yeah, means something completely different in these parts, think we'll end it there
