#Fish ?Full tank, off to Aldershot today. The only fuel I’ll need is a pint in the Traf in memory of 2019 and #Fish
I think it was the one that said 'don't panic don't panic'.I am interested to know which Government statement, and when it was made, that you think induced the Great British public to panic buy fuel that many of them had no need of.
Full tank and just waiting to see if the rain will ease before we drag the wobble box down to Cornwall ??At the caravan for the weekend and drove last about 8 or petrol stations - everyone out of fuel, even those on the motorways services
It's a toy, that's why we allow the RAF Regt to play on them.
One of my memories of my time working at the FVRDE/MVEE was when they were developing the Scorpion a couple of guys took an unequipped early version out for a spin and were rumoured to have got more than 60MPH out of it.
Worked on the 'Striker' version that had five swingfire anti tank missiles. Liked giving them some Welly on the airfield at BAE.One of my memories of my time working at the FVRDE/MVEE was when they were developing the Scorpion a couple of guys took an unequipped early version out for a spin and were rumoured to have got more than 60MPH out of it.
I see although the UK's stock of fuel is at normal levels the Petrol Retailers Association are reckoning on a 3p/litre price rise in the coming days . They vehemently deny this is profitering !!

A 3p rise does what tho? 2.4p remains with them .. on which are they paying more for deliveries as the wages of drivers only going one way
Plus their making less as the majority of their profits are from the shop arent they? In which sales are right down as people can't just nip in for a quick stop
Supply and demand surely?
I would agree with the losses (lack of profits from the shops). I often fill up in a Coop garage/shop near the club. The car park is nearly always close to full last Monday drove straight in to a nearly empty car park.
Funny bit was somebody a little way behind me having seen me pull in also turned in, expecting there to be fuel, and drove straight out again.
That’s the map Jo Swinson dreamed off ;-)
