Fuel shortages

Travelling back home from Yorkshire today but heard that there’s already been queuing at local fuel stations, streets blocked at 01:40! People filling Jerry cans. Someone must have said ‘don’t worry, there are no shortages’
Pretty much a full tank already so no issue getting back.
Must remember to pick up toilet rolls, pasta, breadmaking ingredients if I see any Wink

Say don’t panic buy something in this country and Joe a public panic buys it.

Panic buyers should fill their tanks with all the toilet rolls they bought last year. Steve

gantry signals on the M25 showing NO FUEL AT NEXT SERVICES.


local supermarket, with only one entrance/exit, people are queuing to get fuel, but those who want to shop can't get to the car parks.
Whistle

I think I might suggest on Facebook that there may be a honey shortage, due to insufficient bees with flying licences.
I should have sold all my stock by the end of next week.

For those people with an EV. I note thast last week we ran out of Electricity, and a poor old Coal Fired Power Station had to come out of retirement to save the day so you could charge your EV. Wasn't that kind of it? Due to shaortages one can pick Cauliflowers in Boston for £30 an hour, beats lorry driving!

Elderly woman interviewed in the queue yesterday said she "drove a hybrid, predominately electric but needed to have some petrol by way of back up". She'd apparently been in that queue about an hour and although we never got to see the car, from the roof-lining and stitching to the seats and headrests, it was something at the top end. Difficult to see why she'd need to sit in a queue for fuel. Probably didn't spend more than £25
