I normally get some Diesel every fortnight - today was the day. Reading about the "panic" I took a flask of coffee and prepared to queue - went to Tesco straight to the pump 70+L to fill the tank, I was a bit underwhelmed. BBC take note, there is also the North of England not just the South!! Obviously we don't panic in just the same way. I imagine the military tanker drivers will spend most of their time in Essex.

It's mainly been a South East and motorway thing from what I've found. Most of the south Eastern punters all have their heads up their backside and is all me me me attitude. Most of the queues seem to be dying of in East London now tho. I'd guess considering Most people in London will use their car to drive 50 yards too the shop that's why we have had these queues where as in say Yorkshire the nearest shop is a 5 mile drive so learn to budget and make use of the journey. I see one person fill up with £3.22 the other day so that kinda says it all |

there has been virtually no fuel in Derby for the last few days, odd dribbles coming in. I just happened to luck in this morning as my old man had just managed to fill up at the local one, then told me they had just had a delivery, so I shot over and brimmed the D4 from about 1/8th tank, didn't have to wait, but by the time I came out there was a queue back onto the road..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I haven't needed to fill up since all of this nonsense started. Today though, I noticed a forecourt with hardly anyone in, I pulled in and filled right up, no waiting, in and out Kev
