neilp9876 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have 39 miles left in my car now after spending the last half hour driving around wycombe looking for diesel. Tried 9 garages and they've all run out completely, the tenth had unleaded only. I've got a funeral tomorrow and will have to drain diesel out of my van to get there, I will hope that I can find a garage when I'm there otherwise I ain't gonna get back.

ellis Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well if there wasn't a crisis in the offing, there is now! Retarded mouth breathers are queuing round the streets all over Lincoln. I have the dilemma of having to drive over to Blackpool tomorrow to pick up my lad. It's a 300 mile round trip in a car that has about 299 miles of petrol in it!! I could just leave the b*gger there I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorling Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have just spent an hour driving two miles through Marlow because all the roads are blocked by drivers queueing for petrol. All three garages are now dry so the traffic has eased up. I stopped opposite one woman who I talked to as I waited for the traffic to move, she had three kids under five in the car, had been queuing for more than an hour, only wanted a quarter of a tank (because the Government had told her to top up) and had bought sandwiches and drinks for the kids. She was a bit fraught! I suggested she go and sit in the sun with the kids by the river, perhaps if I was the Government she would have done as she was told!

Supranature Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I put £40 worth of petrol in my TT on Saturday afternoon @ 139.9p litre. Went back to the same garage last night as I was passing anyway and there was only a small queue, and guess what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the tw@ts had ramped the price up to 144.9p litre....... How can they get away with this ruthless profiteering??????? Needless to say I will never use that station EVER again out of principle.

al02uk Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Most stations are doing it mate. The actual prices are starting to fall slightly (compared to my last post), I doubt you will see that change on the price boards though. You can bet that if the market ended with the price rising, the boards would be changed one second after midnight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I dont even know how i coped, all of the 7 petrol stations near me have fuel, although the first signs of retarded panic buying have started at one of them. I have £20 in the tank, that should last me 2-3 weeks now. If the problems carry on any longer ill work from home. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 It's all gone a bit nuts near me - people queuing from both directions to fill up, pushing in, horns bipping, shouting etc etc (I live pretty much opposite a shell garage) I'm going to get the deckchair out, crack a few beers and watch the fun in the sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Useless, mouthbreathing, mongoloid feckwits! If people had just gone about as normal, things would be fine, but no, they all start queueing in there mindless droves. I've got 1/4 tank left and a 135 mile drive home tomorrow so need to brim the tank (same as every Friday). Now I'm faced with the possibility of the 3 petrol stations I pass before the motorway being packed with morons, devoid of fuel, rationed, rediculously expensive or a combination of the above. I hope all the panic-buying retards break down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I haven't been panic buying but the car is nigh on empty and now I'm worried that I'm not going to have any petrol(along with the emergency services) to get to work tomorrow.

Josh Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The BP I can see from the window at work has about 15 cars queueing off the forecourt onto the main road causing hassle. These people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are monster queues where I live and every last morsel of fuel gone, I have sod all in the supra and need some for Saturday and even had to miss my mates still born babies funeral as I was not able to travel so am pretty peed off about that all due to the local inbred **** (fill in your own) that have decided we will all die and the world will end if we don't buy everything now..... It is funny how one person can be a bit silly but as a nation we are totally retarded and not far from the mentality of people in south park.

Guigsy Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 all you fools didnt panic buy early enough. i got mine on tuesday! but in all seriousness it is stupid. but doesnt seem to be bad in northampton. The station at the local tesco still has fuel. but the queue is hard to judge as half the pumps are shut for repairwork anyway so there is about the same number of cars. but the queues are longer...

Angarak Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Have they? or are they being cunning by causing panic knowing that its a great way to boost their coffers with everyone going mad buying the most taxed product in the country?
