silly porsche driver, use your legs, or pay a BMW driver to fetch your desired items

I'm going to try about 11:30am tomorrow, I drove past three petrol stations earlier hoping to find one where they weren't queuing half way down the road, or empty. Mind you, if I waited in the one queue I would still have been there now.

Things have really kicked off around here today. Went out to see a mate earlier tonight and my regular Shell station was packed... cars queued out onto the road. Passed it a few hours later and there are signs on all the pumps stating a shortage of fuel.

I've not used my car for weeks and thanks to these ******* morons, won't be able to get it in for its MOT tomorrow unless I can find a station with fuel (it's already pretty empty).

Words can't express how I feel about some of the idiots I share this planet with.

I wish they'd all go and... I dunno, dying sounds like the most appropriate thing.

Where do I come into it then, do you guys use people like me as bridges for mud puddles when it's raining?

Did you seriously expect anything else to happen? I'm sure all those retards with fuel will be driving to work fine tomorrow and with a valid MOT as well.

grease for the bearings in our CV joints

200 mile round trip planned this weekend to go see the in laws which with hindsight appears not to have been my smartest decision.

I'm working nights so a dawn raid at 06:00 on the local morrisons petrol station is in order i think !

Is it wrong I took that as a compliment?

Drove about 500 miles today. No issues filling up on the M3 this morning and no issues filling up at Tot Hill services on the A34 near Newbury at 11pm on my way back either...though they were out of diesel, but no problems with petrol.

Seems the best bet is to hit the motorway/major A road service stations instead of cocking about with local ones. Suits me fine as practically every trip I do involves a motorway stint. Even if I find myself needing fuel when I don't plan on making a motorway journey, as long as I have at least 25 miles left (to cover me there and back just in case), I'll blast it up the M3 to Fleet services instead of joining the moron panic buyers at the local town stations.

Petrol stations on my way back from work had queues ~200yards back down the road forcing cards to use the middle of the road to pass - the one on the main road the police had turned up and were telling people queued outside to move on.

Diesel and regular unleaded at my local BP had a fair few pumps shut. No ultimate pumps closes of yet. 49 litres should last me a while as my mileage has been fairly low the last couple of weeks.
