The BBC can't have sent this reporter to do a piece on panic buying petrol by accident!
I was in Chester earlier, collecting a TV wall bracket from Richer Sounds, so swung by the BP station on the way back (simply because I was passing right passed it), and filled up. No stress, no drama

Lol - I knew you'd pick me up on that! As I said, I was literally passing right in front of it, so given the current situation, it would've been remiss of me not to fill up
I've already spoken with the manager of the other Texaco station I use (not the one in Wrexham centre, but in a little village on the outskirts), who, due to idiots panic buying, has already sold his weekly allocation of fuel, and so now is just running the station as a shop, and he informed me that he'll be getting another delivery of fuel on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
I asked if he could call me when it arrives (which he's done before with other stuff), so I could pop down and top up, and that was no problem. Therefore, the human touch pays off again, and demonstrates why I like dealing with PEOPLE, not machines!!

Oh dear, Watching Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor speaking at the Labour Party Conference. She's trying to appear emphatic, but putting the emphasis in the wrong places. All a bit tragic really.
Still, at least they seem to be keeping the hilarious Diane Abbott under wraps for now!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“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.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

'Speaking'? You're being rather complimentary, aren't you? More like an incoherent ramble.
