I do believe the HGV pumps have larger nozzles and wont fit.

"Commercial" vehicles like Nivaras/Amaroks/Rangers can use the HGV nozzles AFAIK.
I agree!
Had some errands to run in North London earlier. Of the petrol stations I passed:
Esso - No fuel
BP - No fuel
Shell - No fuel (Stirling corner on the A1 roundabout)
Morrisons Superstore - Presumably had fuel. A queue was just backing up onto the roundabout as I passed. Looked on gmaps traffic before heading home and there was a half mile tailback along the A1 and the minor roads were snarled up
Tesco Extra - No fuel
Shell #2 - Had fuel. Fortunately the road was wide enough that cars heading in my direction trying to turn right into the petrol station could make a line down middle. Traffic in the other direction was gridlock. Cars were trying to drive down the middle of the road but got stuck when they reached an oncoming line the middle turning into the petrol station..
BP #2 - No fuel
Esso #2 - No fuel
/edit the #2 petrol stations are different locations to the first ones. I was not driving back past the original ones again.

Had to give my dad’s car back. I’ll need fuel by Sunday as I’m basically on the red so I’ll keep my eye out tomorrow morning on my local area’s FB group - what tends to happen is someone will report a tanker has arrived then shortly after a swarm descend upon that station and drain within a few hours so it’ll be a case of hitting refresh then bolting out the door as soon as something pops up.
Government now admitting serious problems in many areas!

It's still a problem borne of panic buying. There's plenty of fuel, just not in the right places. Only turned into a crisis when it got reported on and blown out of proportion. Could argue that lack of trust in this Governments ability to respond to a issue speaks volumes. Doesn't excuse the Gov from ignoring the issues caused by their policies and ineptitude, and of inaction this week.

Just been to a JET station near my girlfriends mum's house. All fuel available but pretty expensive at £1.39 for petrol. I was the only one filling up , been open but no one filling up the 3 times we have drove past. Yet 30mins away in my town it's 45 min ques.

I was gobsmacked yesterday when I went to fill up, and watch an oap fill up 2 cans, and his car... When I got to the pump he had put in £62.... Sure he really needed that

Probably getting a flashback to the 1970s!
Seems to be mostly OAPs doing that. I hope they know E10 doesn't keep very long...
A lot of places are stopping people filling cans now though.
WHy? I need cans for my strimmer and quad bike and poo hoover. I take three to fill up every few weeks of E5.

Can not really picture him on a quad bike, or doing that much gardening at his age

Both the BP and Sainsbury’s here had fuel this evening, including super. No queues either.
Seems like a return to normality here at least.

Finally managed to get some unleaded for the wifes car - she was on fumes - 30 quid of super unleaded at 1.49 a litre so 30 quid didn't go far. Should last her until next Thurs. I'm fine, 3/4 of diesel and I only commute two days a week so should last me a couple of weeks.
I had decanted 12l out of the Westfield to put in the wifes car so that will need refilling at some point but I wont be driving that for a while looking at the weather forecast.

Does E10 work in petrol mowers if it didn't work in older cars?
Most people I know that have one have had them years as they last ages.

It will run, but it might eat the carbs and fuel hoses over a period of time. It's worse the longer it's left as it absorbs water.
