How’s the fuel crisis going on round your way then?
All our local facebook groups have descended into just asking where there’s petrol. We put off a trip out to Tidemills yesterday and took the train to Lewes instead, and I’m not going to be in the office on Wednesday like I normally am.
Have you queued for hours? Have you witnessed any petrol station forecourt argy bargy? Are you a smug non driver?
Got a quarter tank and no plans to go anywhere so not too worried, not sure how local petrol stations are - my one issue was that trying to get may daughter to A&E on Friday evening probably took 30 mins longer that it should have because I got caught at two roundabouts that both had tailbacks because of people queuing for petrol.
Didn’t have enough to get home from Wales on saturday so had to sit in a queue for half an hour to get my rationed £20 worth of diesel.
Staff on the forecourt trying the stop the road from being blocked, someone was “banned for life” by the manager for putting £50 in.
There’s definitely be some good forecourt fight footage this week
Got about a quarter of a tank of petrol - fine for now, but I’m due to be driving to a wedding in Redhill at the weekend so I’ll need some then. Worst case scenario is that we get the train (sidenote - a three hour train journey should not cost soooo much more than a three hour car trip for a family of four. Ridiculous, but we all know that).
There was quite a queue going past the Tesco station this morning - could probably have joined it but I don’t need it til Thursday and I’m trying to follow guidance. Easy to see why people are panic-buying and it’s typical Tory gaslighting to be blaming them.
And where do you even start with politicians posting stuff like this:
Is it ignorance? Is it deliberate lies because they know they can get away with it? Is it provocation just to get a few clicks and wind up the lefties?
