Popular Post Redwing Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Could everyone please start spreading rumours of an imminent shortage of Anusol, to give those who love to queue for/panic buy something they don't really need, an alternative to the filling stations. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLeftLotusRight Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Oddly enough my wife never usually mentions that her car is low on fuel. She waits until I have to drive it… Having seen the news today, she suddenly asks me if hers might need filling up. It’s probably running on fumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieT Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 What a mess. I was meeting a work colleague this morning who needed petrol as he was in the red and had a 40 mile round trip to see me - guess what, queues around the corner for both his local petrol stations. I drove past my local small village petrol station, which is lucky to see 2 cars at once in their 8 pump forecourt - today, cars queued down the road causing a traffic jam. Muppets.

Does she ever check the oil/water/tyres/wash it, hoover it out... My wife manages to put fuel in, but nothing else in the way of care for it, she can't manage the usb stick either.

hedgerley Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 You would think, after all these years, they would have learned that headlines saying "Don't panic", "There's plenty of fuel/bread/beer/whatever", "Please buy fuel/bread/beer/whatever as you would normally" etc. would have exactly the opposite effect. Numpties. A news blackout about fuel/bread/beer/whatever would have had the desired effect and the rest of the numpties would have stayed at home. @Bibs not sure I approve of your smugness. But I do envy you 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerley Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Oh FFS. As I posted that my wife shouts down from upstairs, no unleaded or diesel at our local BP according to the village FB page. Twats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted September 25, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 So I was down to 1 bar of fuel on my commute car. Went out last night and had no problem getting petrol in Dundee. Just pulled in to Asda as normal. no queues and 4 of the 8 pumps not being used by anyone. Did not see any queues or issues at any petrol station I went past. I guess it just means that people in Dundee are not selfish, stupid, panic buying fooktards as it seems many other people are. I do hate some times the selfish, it's all about me, culture that we seem to have in the UK now. Such a shame people have to respond in such a selfish way constantly. 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Gold FFM Dan E Posted September 25, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I just went to pick my son up from rugby normally a 15 min round trip, there are 2 petrol garages on the way took me just over an hour!! it is complete madness it was literally a queue of 4x4 mothers, makes me so angry 🤬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 This could be easily dealt with. If you are not in the last 1/4 of tank then jog on and if you are only £35 worth of fuel per car each visit. Oh and yes thats tough on drivers of huge engined cars but lifes not always fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cweeden Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 They should set a £50 minimum, then you'd only visit the pumps when you have space for a decent amount of fuel. Maybe that would ward off the idiots. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Cdm2018 Posted September 25, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think the press should stop making this big issue and sensationalise the whole thing ! the foreign drivers will not make an appearance unless the wages can be made more attractive. so if we run out of fuel there’s no fireworks no pumpkins and no mince pies End of life as we know it makes Covid look like a dress rehearsal 🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
