Panic buying fuel
- Thread starter adam6177

Was talking about this around the dinner table, first sign of panic buying make petrol stations have attendants, more than quarter of a tank no fuel, less than a quarter you get £30 worth.
All vans/ lorries etc with less than quarter of a tank get filled up.
Security guards in attendance if required. (Or military 😉)

Where you getting these extra staff?🤣
I’m sure the millennials and Gen Z will be falling over themselves to help. Obviously their degrees will come in handy…..If they can put there phones down of course.👍
It’s hardly the OPEC crisis again though is it. Loads of folk working from home and not making regular long journeys. It will be over in a few days. People just need to flipping calm down
there’s no political leverage in that sort of rational thinking!😜
I've not topped up yet. I've about a quarter tank left and, after collecting my car on Saturday morning after a service, I thought I'd to to fill it up. Two petrol stations were empty and the other two had big queues. Luckily I've a hybrid so sad long as I don't do more than 30 miles in a day I'll be fine but I always like to keep a decent amount in my tank in case I get called out for a work emergency. I'm hoping it will calm down next week when the numpties have all filled their cars which will undoubtedly be left parked on their drive with a full tank. 
I don't blame the politicians or the media. I blame it on the stupid, selfish people who have been all too prevalent over the last 18 months.

It's because this country is built on the myth of the "sprit" of the blitz
When reality was when people were down the tunnels in an air raid their houses were being robbed and the food rationing just lead to a black market ..
All in it together
As long as I'm alright Jack.

Where is there a civil emergency, when was this declared. Perhaps those that refused to do any work during the last 18 months might be used to do all your odd jobs.
You continue to make things up and you seem to have little or no idea what the military are for.

It appears I have a job today, unfortunately I took the last of the diesel
Due to muppet behavior
Visas for foreign drivers going against everything Boris has said.
You could not make it up.
What a mess.

Without the muppets we would be under 100 tons of toilet paper and never hear false news.
Yes those muppets who foisted this mess upon us by voting for it. Project fear eh.
