The panic has started

Recommended Posts

Quite glad that the teen has dropped out of college,as its saving me a fortune in petrol :roll::lol:

Very annoyingly, the main petrol station in Henley is along the main road into town,which gets really heavily congested,so adding queuing cars to the equation equals major chaos,and the back road in is shut next week :roll:

The Husband has just got in from taking his Bike to London & has said that there are queues at all the stations & no petrol left in a lot of them :shock:

Just been looking up bus times into town for work :roll:

 

HATE this...no petrol,no water & 50p blooming pence for a SECOND class stamp....what next I wonder?

I can't drive at the moment anyway. But aren't people daft? If they just carried on as normal it would be fine.

I use the village shop mainly anyway - as although it's a bit more pricey, it doesn't cost as much as the fuel to drive into Aber or Lampeter.

There is a good bus service here too if needed.

I need some fuel but cant be bothered to go and q. Not desperate until sunday, so will leave it until then.

 

There is a potential problem looming with lorry drivers and a cock up with digital tacographs stopping working.... dont know enought bout it to understand whether its a huge problem, but if it does become one it means a large number of lorry drivers either not being allowed to drive, or driving illegally.

 

Oh well, we will all survive I am sure..

I didn't know anything about it until last night when our town had run out of petrol. Had wondered why there were huge queues though at all the petrol stations we'd passed on my three trips to and from the hospital yesterday. Would have been down to the OAP's around here who HAVE to put petrol in even if they're not going anywhere :roll: My FiL and all his golf club chums will have been doing that :roll:

Iwonder if we'll have panic buying when the country is flooded with all those extra people for the Olympics... surely we won't have enough bread to cover everyone.

Or toilet roll... that's one of the first things to disappear off the shelves down here when there's a panic buying frenzy :roll:

It does my head in- normally a bank holiday is bad enough!

I filled up with no problems here today - mine was the only car on the forecourt :lol:

The chap did say they had been very busy though.

It feels better knowing I now have a full tank of petrol,should it be needed,although the daughter is getting the train back from Uni for the Easter break this weekend,just in case!

Yes, the shops are closed for a day and folks act like the end is nigh :roll: I remember when all shops were closed on a Sunday and there was half day closing mid-week too. I'd love to return to those days when folks' sense of urgency was less and people weren't so avaricious. 8)
