Nailsworth shell had no Diesel this morning and that was at 7.35 !!

I am sad to say I added to the crisis tonight..... by panic buying,

I wasnt going to until I saw two stations in Brum today that had sold out, so I filled up the ZTT, the Punto, the Suzuki and the lawn mower petrol can.

see....I dont follow the crowds.

Tesco & Sainsbury in Redditch have no Diesel so unless Shell deliver to them panic buying is to blame

Bad timing all this. I have to go to Cardiff tomorrow for the Bruce Springsteen concert. I got back up here a while back (56MPH all the way and not a lot overtook me on the M40) and saw two petrol stations coned off (Esso in Birches Bridge being the second), so got to Claregate and filled up with Super Unleaded as they have no regular left.

I might get the train tomorrow, just don't fancy the idea of going down there and then to on Hampshire using a lot of fuel in the process.

That's if any trains are running of course.

Poor planning on behalf of the garage then, glad I don't depend on them for a job.

Well I have now sinned.
Filled car plus 20 Gallons in Containers.
Need it where I live and of course for work, but they do have their own Pump now to a Tanker.

That is the maximum you are allowed to store in containers (must be in two appropriately marked 10 gallon containers) on domestic premises - as I am sure JDC knows

Yes all present and correct as Usual TF.

Couldn't fill it all in one go, as pump Timed out and limit on Delivery.

My local garage has put a MINIMUM delivery charge on again - £5.00

Flippin' idiots queueing for ages, with engines running, and managing to get 50 pence worth in the tank

No - I wasn't in the queue, VeeKay has 3/4 of a tank. More than enough to last 2 weeks at the moment.
