Panic buying

[jotto]

Why is it that every garage I have been past today there is a ****** great queue???? I'm suposed to be working at brentford tomorrow but I have no diesel all these people just topping up there cars in a panic is costing me dearly!!!!!!.

I suppose I will have to go out later and join a queue or leave it till every one else is in bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it always happens, lucky I can run on part veg but im driving to hexham in northumberland then across to newcastle and back to hexham weds towing so I hope I can refuel up there.

I grabbed some diesel last night as im working in stanstead tomorrow, the thing is I know people who are buying loads this time as they were the ones not worrying last timeand then got caught short. I hope they dont ration it.

They were all waiting at the garage this afternoon when I went to the bank, spilling out onto the road and cloging thing up again, Fools !
Trouble is it was mostly older folk that probably only do 10 mls per week when they go to pick their pension up !

Well if it does come to a head and the panic buying starts to kick off big style again,at least I won't have to go to work if I can't get the fuel.

Some garages in Wales are allowing £10 worth only, and no cans.

Filled Linda's horse lorry up today, no queues or anything, people down here must be more laid back.

Whats the point of a petrol protest and blockade, if everyone goes and fills all there cars up and lines the oil Co's/Govn's pockets before hand! BP and Co must be rubbing their hands together with glee, full garage forecorts, all filling cans and cars to the brim, all paying 99.9p!

Now that`s in the news the panic will only get worse,but what anoys me is on the news gordon brown says that it`s a global problem the price of oil and that theres nothing they can do about it!.
Does he think we are all comletely thick and that nobody knows that it`s all tax.

Click on the link to see what other european countrys are paying,Ok there are some quite high, but not as high as us.

Lots of GARAGES are quickly running out of UNLEADED but DIESEL is still available at the moment. Lots of School run mums filling up & Oaps 95% of them are in this category from what ive seen.
