Fuel shortage

I've added to the panic by filling up today .. (y) .. mind you, I've been on fumes for the past 3 days so I kinda needed to ..
 
Are people filling up petrol cans too?

They can store 100 toilet rolls, but not 200 litres of petrol. Unless someone knows better.
 
I was getting close to the red line and I had to drive all over to find somewhere that had not sold out of petrol and diesel, I counted SIX petrol stations in all that were closed :mad:

Lucky for me I had a jerry can of diesel in the garden shed but that won't last long
 
As soon as the Government made the announcement 'No need to panic buy' the rest was obvious. We are British. Many of us don't give a fig for others, as witnessed with panic buying before at the start of the pandemic. Time to remove the 'Great' out of Great Britain because the reality is we are not great at all.

Selfish, 'every man for himself' attitude in any signs of change and uncertainty. Telling people not to panic buy is like telling a child not to open the present, which is kept in an unlocked wardrobe, before Christmas day.
 
I've passed 3 fuel stations and all rammed. The point is they said yesterday that BP have shut a few smaller forecourts but still more than enough fuel.

The very second I read that I thought 'everyone is going to panic buy'. They simply didn't need to a say anything and everything would be as normal.

The moment you say 'don't panic buy' people do. You could do a social experiment and say 'Stella is running low' and everyone would stock up'.

It f*cking winds me up. These are probably the very same selfish loons who bought 30 packets of bog rolls or cleaned out the pasta during lockdown😕

I don't care if its brexit or covid related. Just stop being selfish f*ckers and get fuel when you actually need it.
How about stopping Bobo fanning the flames.
 
I wonder what could have caused fuel shortages?

I bet, in fact no, I'm certain, that the brexits cults on here will STILL defend it. Nailed on.

Although I now a good time to reopen the EV debate? Apart from BP pulse who I'm now certain are deliberately bad at chargers, I didn't notice any panic refuelling today at a supercharger
 
I queued for petrol today. I was 120 miles from home with 40 miles in the tank.
I suppose I could have just put in 10 litres or so to get me home, but I filled up. Does that make me selfish or sensible?

Putting aside the fact that we agree that this mess is a making of the idiots in charge; do you think that the citizens of other countries wouldn't respond similarly to the news and announcements made?
