Garages that limit purchases to, say £30, are the sensible ones.

We also need places that offer a pump lane only for NHS workers etc - show your ID to the CCTV before filling.

Friends have had to cancel a holiday to the east coast as they have no fuel, shame they were looking forward to a break after illness.

There’s only a crisis as people because some people are gullible sheep & the media whipping up a storm. This is exactly the same as before with flour, pasta & toilet rolls which to the best of my knowledge were never in a shortage but the idiots just hit the panic button. What a nation we have become.

Had to go to the medical centre this morning. A journey that takes me past the petrol station that I use. Completely empty forecourt, no cars to be seen. Couldn't see any signs from my position but presumably they had run dry.

Bit the bullet this morning & headed to Tesco to fill up. Had to wait 5 minutes but mission successful. Only 1 pump working though.

I drive past 3 filling stations, could have chosen anyone of them to fill up but went for MAXOL as there wasn't any cars in the forecourt. No shortages here whatsoever.

Just had a Tesco delivery and the driver was telling me that they’ve once again sold out. He was filling his van up yesterday and someone had a go at him and even though he explained that they had over 1000 deliveries that day the guy was having none of it. The worlds officially gone mad.
