That doesn't surprise as over the years some customer's have attempted to or fill beer/coke cans, plastic 2/4 pint milk containers and one customer tried to fill a 20L flexible plastic container used to fill with drinking water used for camping.

Precisely. In reality behaviour has hardly changed at all - these idiots are always out there. It is just that in times like this the Daily Mail is looking for them.

Apologies if posted already:
Same here.
Drove past the sainsburys petrol station and it was pretty empty (of people filling up).
Got a McDonald's and did the food shopping.
Went to the aforementioned petrol station, pumped one of my tyres up and put in 30 quid of fuel. No queue for petrol at all, less can be said for the morons filling up with air.
david cameron is a morron.. he's started it off...
after that panic buyers lead to more and more people wanting to buy petrol before it runs out.. even tho their is no strike. people will still panic buy before the panic buyers buy it all up if that makes sense. chain reaction..
it wont matter much anyway.. their isnt going to be many days that stations are out of fuel because their is no strike and their will be a period of quiet because a lot of people have plenty of fuel..the
run your car on empty and blame everyone else because you cant get into hospital.. hmm you should never let a car get that low..
most cars on empty still have a good 20mile in them before they stop and if you're that bad ring an ambulance.. troll much?

lol at how much influence people think politicians have. If they did then the Chinese would actually be giving us billions of cash because we've asked them for it...
Instead try the media that reported it.

Murco Garage in Stafford were taking the **** this morning when I went past at 7am. £1.47 for Petrol and £1.55 a litre for Diesel.
Came past the same garage on my way back to work tonight the price was back to £1.39 for unleaded and £1.45 for diesel!
People were still queuing up to pay at the higher prices too! Robbing *******s.
Luckily I have only had to use my car for work. 2 miles there, and 2 miles back, so my tanks of fuel can last 4 weeks plus, so I haven't had to join the muppets queuing!

And the media spun it ans spun it. Did you read the Mail's reporting? "Sweltering in 70 degree heat!!!!!"

The panic buying started before he said a word.
Erm didn't you read my post? She didn't have her coat with her. She was rushed to hospital IN AN EMERGENCY in an ambulance.
As for the person that said I shouldn't let my car run that low. I don't live in the middle of the city. The hospital is an hour's drive from where I work. I normally just fill up as the petrol light comes on. I could probably have got to the hospital, but not home again afterwards.
Yes, we could have got a taxi home, but the point is, we shouldn't have to be forced into that position.

To be perfectly honest, I don't believe that most people are thinking "does someone need this fuel more than me" before they fill up their car. I'm not condoning people rushing out to fill up their cars, probably needlessly, but to blame it for your situation sounds unreasonable - you're a victim of circumstance.
Hope you're daughter's ok though - had my son ill all through the night the other night and it isn't pleasant.
If David Cameron told you to jump off a bridge.......

London or Tower?
Hopefully we get plenty of these threats so lots more fuel sold and the increase can be postponed.
It had occured to me that the whole thing is engineered in some way.
