I use Tesco's or BP's fuel, so I'm not bothered!!! It's more annoying though when people do panic buy cos it effects the traffic in that whole area!!! making it impossible to get anywhere!!

Panic buying is sooooo ghay. When has it ever actually run out? never. It only ever caused problems of its own due to panic buying. My sister was 30mins late from work earlier, she needed petrol and apparently they were queued down the road and round the corner.
Sad IMO.
AHHHHH NO PETROL FOR 1 DAY........... BUY 10 JERRY CANS FULL TO BE ON SAFE SIDE.

Yeah, they are going in strike because they are not getting paid enough.
They are demanding a 13% pay rise - but have been offered a deal worth 6.8%.

Wish we were like Spain or France, not hesitation getting onto the streets and protesting it HARD.
That big heffer won't sit up and take notice of a "online petition" or whatever methods us English think will make a difference.
