Yup....put the PANIC on hold for now.......and return to your village as they're missing their IDIOT!
messed up my weekend was going for a ride but dont think i will chance it as my not have enough motion lotion to get me home
Most places I've passed today have had petrol just no diesel, considering there has been no action yet and it's on hold everywhere is likely to be stocked back up tonight or the morning.
Fecking retard garage man today, whilst trying to fill up with diesel at 5am ignoring the notiice saying "max amount £20" I got £33 in before he noticed and started going mental.......lol When I asked him if I drove around the island and pulled back in could I have another £20 worth of his special metered fuel he said YES as it was £20 a time WTF!!!!! Cos I ain't got anything better to do at that time of the morning.....
It annoys me people being so stupid, my friend is having daily cancer treatment daily 20 miles away at Portsmouth hospital, he has a diesel car, he did not panic, he thought he would be able to fill up. We have lent him a petrol car until it is all over.
The thing is the M.P that said fill up you tanks and have some in a can is our M.P, glad I did not vote for him.
Words cannot describe the stupidity... something's in this for him though - what could that be? Oh yeah, fuel duty has spiked massively over the last week!!

I do find it difficult to sympathise with people who get paid twice the national average in one of the safest industries in the country, who threaten to go on strike over pay and safety, and then expect some poor squadie / matelot / crab to cover for them... If you think it's dangerous and you don't get paid enough try getting shot at daily in Afghanistan for seven months for £19.5k a year !
A man is stuck in traffic. He asks a police officer about the hold-up and he replies: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is so depressed about the mess he's made of the economy he's stopped his car and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. So we're taking up a collection for him." The man asks: "How much have you got so far?" The policeman replies: "About 40 gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning."
I have heard that it is being said that the squaddies arent well trained enough to deliver fuel. Wonder who delivers fuel to vehicles in a war zone while getting shot at?? Earthing strap isnt going to help there.
I think if the majority of people actually realised how little time squadies are actually trained for before being sent off to afghanistan etc to dodge bullets, with the poor level of equipment they get compared to other nations, would they then begin to appreciate just how much they are true HERO's. They shouldn't need to fall in the name or our country before they are recognised, paid and looked after as heroes.
Oops, sorry I think I just went off on one. Normal service will resume shortly....when the medication kicks in. I think it was the 19.5k thing that did it.
Rather than having a £20 max spend, how about a £30 minimum spend. That way the brimmers wont make these stupid queues. Put a sign up that says you will be charged £30 regardless of whether you can get £30 in the tank. That would stop them.
I think it was a multi pronged plan. (a) Oh look, no-one is now going on about cash for dinners with the PM. (b) Lets swell the coffers with some extra tax money before the end of the financial year. (c) Get all of the old people to fill their cars up with fuel, so they are going to be out of the way when the real strike starts. (d) Make the drivers and the Conciliation Service work harder to reach an agreement, because nobody wants to be responsible for that happening again. Oh yes and by the way, if the press had not worked so hard at whipping it all up there would not have been a problem, how many of you actually saw queues on the first day, hardly anyone, it was the press desperately looking for stories the got everyone worried.
