I've just returned home after a search for V-power and a working tyre inflator.......

Garage 1, Shell: No V-Power and inflator U/S

Garage 2, Asda: Closed and no inflator

Garage 3, Tesco: Closed and inflator took 20p and then had a hissy fit.....

Garage 4, BP: Assistant ignored me for 10 mins whilst I waited to get change after the Tesco machine robbed me. Drove off in disgust.

Garage 5, Shell: No V-Power, inflator U/S

Garage 6, Shell, No V-Power, inflator... SUCCESS!!

Obviously I didn't ask for V-Power at the non-Shell garages, I'm mad, but not that mad! However it took six garages to find a stupid tyre inflator which is terrible in my book. As for the V-Power I'm not too worried as I have just over half a tank but I'm going to fill up as soon as it's available as I'm betting it will go into short supply.

No V power at Tesco, ASDA or BP whats the world coming to ?

The garages by mine are fine, but we've had no snow

I spotted a couple coming out of my local Sainsburys the other day with four trolleys between them.........

Indeed, I mean shouldn't they all just stock V-Power and be done with it?

Well it just shows what being polite gets you I rang my local Shell garage this morning and asked about fuel deliveries and the chap asked why I wanted to know. I explained I was a bit sad and wanted to put V-Power in my Scoob.

No problem, we have a small stock left but we've put the pumps that supply it off, come up give me a shout and I'll switch the tank over so you can fill up

I've now got a full tank for traveling home next week.
