Please don't panic buy.

It's a shame so many petrol stations have closed, 40000 in the 60s, 18000 in the 90s and less than 9000 now and with far more vehicles on the road.

That's a good point. Our local 'independent' garage has just 2 pumps, petrol and diesel and a man comes out and fills the car for you. In Wainfleet, also not far from us, there is a petrol station that is that old, the pumps are still on the pavement and you just pull up by the curb and they come out and serve you. But, with both places, their fuel is usually at least 1p per litre cheaper than the big sellers.

Silly people, as soon as someone on the telly says "don't panic" they panic, I went past a local station this morning and cars were lined up in a queue to get in, the irony is that it was an Essar station and the Essar refinery is 5 miles away churning through 30,000 t/d of crude.

Just got back from Cambridge the roads are manic. the trip should take me just over an hour today its taken just under three.
I'm so sick of idiotic people.
I have always hated people that only bung £10 in there cars and don't get me started on people that stop on the forcourt jump out and just buy coffee.
I only use the van for work and get through a tank every 3 days I don't need these selfish gits using it up.
I can't wait for the day they make an electric van that has a decent range.
