"no need to panic buy fuel" according to the government. You'll still have to queue for ages at the remaining petrol stations that are still open and now rationing their last dregs of fuel, but just don't panic!

Are the petrol stations that are closing switching off their electric charging points? Bet they are, that'll be a double whammy!
Think I'll get my bicycle out! :D
another situation where reverse psychology should have been employed. If the Gov had said 'Everyone needs to go out and panic buy fuel' no-one would have gone near the filling stations for weeks.
Same as in lockdown 'Everyone stay in your houses' - I walk past the park, it's jammed with people. Went past the park the other day, lovely weather, hardly anyone in there.
Message to everyone out there: don't club together and buy Piggurs some JBL K2s - he wouldn't appreciate it so don't waste your money :)Quote:

So we'll just be sitting back and giggling at all the madness!!:D:mental:

What will happen when your dairy runs out of fuel?
im nearly full of fuel.. that rhymes, and you know it rhymes:eyebrows:

Marco.
Probably won't be free of folk when they can't get their stuff from the supermarkets. Us plebs are a resourceful bunch, and not averse to using some of our hoarded fuel to get us to farm shops :)Quote:
