"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!

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.

Lol - indeed. It's situations like this that simply reinforces the reasons why not to join the 'electric revolution'"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!

As for fuel, I'lve got enough in the Brabster to last me 2 weeks, when this nonsense will be over, and Del can walk to work. Still no evidence of food shortages here, and if there are, we've got plenty in to last us a month, especially with deliveries of essentials from the dairy every 2 days.
So we'll just be sitting back and giggling at all the madness!!

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

Lol - unlikely by Wednesday, when this shite should be over. If not, then we'll sort something out. The farm shop is only 10 mins away, which sells the same stuff, and which none of the plebs use, thus will be blissfully free of panic-buyers!

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 shopsLol - unlikely by Wednesday, when this shite should be over.
