the bloke that arranges the oil depot blockades has actually said there is none planned for this week. as usual people are panicking & filling up to the brim even if they don't need to. THAT is what causes the shortages

apparently the stations in my area aren't having a problem yet. keep my fingers crossed though - gotta run the old folks to the airport on saturday morning

well - after saying that the old folks have just come back home. they attempted to go shopping at the local Tescos but all the roads in the area were blocked up by people queuing to get petrol.

local station is still good. no queues, but they are only running 2 pumps & limiting to 15squid each. might have to fill up in two gos smileys/smiley5.gif
