Thankfully not yet but there is no fuel around me! We went out yesterday and the services on the M1 from 19-16 had all ran out, as had all our local stations! I have enough for a week but I will be keeping an eye on the situation that's for sure!
 
If you ask me it is the media that are to blame for this panic buying!

We were out and about yesterday and saw loads of queues at stations for fuel.

This surge buying is not helping anyone, I saw on the news a bloke filling loads of jerry cans - what about the emergency vehicles, truckers and tradesmen who actually need the fuel to get to important jobs?

It is making me very ranty!!
 
I can't weigh it up. Why are so many people basically so idiotic and selfish?

Like the supermarket shelves emptying 18 months ago, just the same....early entry having to be given to vital workers and OAP's.
A whiff of a problem and panic mode.

It's a 'me me me' world, even if it don't matter.
Fools and winners, with honesty losing out again, eh?
 
Noticed my local Sainsburys fuel station, all pumps out of use.
Then I noticed a big delivery wagon unloading......supplies for the shelves.
