As im now lucky to be a permanent employee, if the fuel did dissapear from our forecourts for a week or 2, i`d simply phone in stating i have no fuel and i will either not be turning up or i will be a few hrs late whilst i leisurely ride my pushbike the 15 miles, they can like it or lump it.

simples

granted this wont do for alot of folks, but ????

I did fill up today, but only because the scoob was empty so i would have done anyway!

No queuing for me though as some pumps only had vpower, i drove straight up whilst every other moron queued for pumps with 95ron/diesel

its ok those who don't fill up will just nick it from the tanks of those who did lol.

Not panic buying as if I run out and cannot get any then I will just have to stay at home.

Was down near my local Tescos earlier looking around other shops and saw the que building for the pumps. Curiously i popped in when pulling out the carpark and asked if they had anything left. The lady channelling the drivers to the remaining pumps said just diesel, not even a drop of Momentum.

I'm kinda buggered, Scoob is mapped for 99 only, krapp.

It's either Gainsborough (if they even sell 99 there) or a Shell near Donny/Hull to get me my go-go juice.

Wouldn't be fussed but I've booked 5 leiu days off work next week and wanted to take our son on a couple of days out

Great stuff. I'm almost empty and need to get to Lincoln, Shepshed and home. Hopefully they're not as retarded down here as they are at your end of the county.

Cob can you not put 95 in and some octane booster just to get you by?

I know it's not ideal but needs must
