I heard an item on Radio 4 and i knew right then what was about to happen....frankly i suspect those panic buying are just the same selfish souls who voted in this government...and since the election my feeling is there is worse to come...already there is talk of having to 'save' xmas What goes around comes around.. |

Long hours with finishes in the middle of nowhere (there were some compensations - female company and beer). Changing road conditions - Roads being narrowed, traffic lights being re-timed to ensure a load of reds (not the Commies). Higher and higher volumes of traffic and the associated idiots! I would be appolectic with "smart" motorways! Pay was good for a free batchelor but I blame Tony Blair, he wanted everyone to go to University (well....50%) and of course it is human nature for the elite to look down on the jobs that are needed to be filled but are beneath them. Kev p.s. They have power steering and gearboxes now - nice |

Never mind, when all the plonkers who were so desperate to fill their tanks, find out next week that they haven't actually driven anywhere, will not be at the pumps and we can resume normal madness.

Either that or they will continue driving around looking for petrol stations that have fuel, wasting the fuel they didn't need in the first place.

Did one of my regular 300 mile plus round trips in my ZT CDTI yesterday and today and had no problem filling up either at the weekend or replenishing today. A tip: go out of towns to a small countrey garage and on both occasions had no problem in filling up with diesel.
Some garages allow say no more than £40 sale of fuel. Why not turn it on its head and say minimum of say £25 spend no matter what is pumped. That way you at least stop those who may be putting in two or three gallons regularly. Just a thought. |

People just need to stop buying more than they need, it’s pretty simple. It’s shambolic that a government has allowed a key infrastructure such as the freight network to get into such a state in the first place. Surely this kind of thing is the very basics of running a country. *shrug* |
