Seems Teflon Tone has said bog off to fuel tax cuts so everybody is starting to panic now in advance cos it will be boring to wait another 13 days or so and do it then!!

Here we bloody go again

BTW - Enfiled - Freudian slip or deliberate

yep, same around here.. (warwickshire) with large queues around pumps.

nothing like the media hyping up the panic buying syndrome - making the situation 100 times worse.

nevermind - the sooner i run out of fuel the sooner I don't have to go to work

keeping it real (ali g moment combined with 2 much stella )

People are just panicing again like scared sheep and thinking they are queing so should I... maybe I should.

According to the news the combination of flooding, bad trains and the threat of petrol shortages in 2 weeks time, have made people start stocking up with petrol. Since the last strike petrol can sales have gone up over 400%.
