    Dickheads. We have 16 miles left on our car, totally fucked up our weekend plans now. I honestly had no idea about a ‘shortage’ but it was predictable that people would be greedy cunts.

    I've got a hybrid and nearly out of petrol. My electric range is shit too so off out now to recharge as I dont have a home charger yet and may have to venture out in the early hours of the morning to look for some petrol.

    Rare that the West Country is ahead of the rest of the UK. My town ran out for a day last Friday, but full supply was back at the weekend. I filled up Sunday night and thankfully still have enough to get to The Valley tomorrow.

    Mrs just rung up and said every filling station around the Basingstoke and Reading area has massive queue's. Idiots.

    Yes. Both on Long Lane and the Broadway are bone dry. Blackfen has half a km queue, so that wont be long.

    The thread is about fuel shortages.

    The fuel shortages are due to lorry driver shortages.

    The lorry driver shortage is due to Covid and brexit.

    So whether if upsets you or not, it is very much “down that road”.  I have no authority on this subject bit of an odd point, I’m just repeating what most media outlets are airing.

    Get an old diesel and throw in some veg oil. Might smell like a chippy but you'll keep going.

    There is no shortage of HGV drivers in the UK.

    There is/was a severe lack of drivers willing to do an often horrible job for £10 per hour.
