What's infuriated me is that people are selling fuel on Facebook at inflated prices.There filling up Jerry cans at the pump purely for profiteering, whilst the emergency services go without.

I thought you had to have a licence to sell fuel, and store it, so why not track them down and fine them 50 times they have sold it for,

also the garages should not allow fuel to be sold in cans, bottles etc while this is going on and allow only £30.00 worth of fuel to each customer.

The police or authorities should be visiting these low life’s and ‘having a word’ with them, it’s disgusting.

Finally, I managed to get some petrol, only had to drive 20 miles out in the country to a small garage in the middle of nowhere.

The Tesco garage in Welshpool was running as normal this morning. All the pumps were normal with no tail backs or panic buying

I've got a Shell garage at the end of my road and when word got out they'd had a delivery all hell broke loose. It's on a roundabout and caused utter chaos with cars blocking all the roads onto the roundabout. This is madness!

I visited Asda today to do our usual shopping, noticed they were allowing you on the forecourt, so did my shopping got in the que which was about 10 cars, they were only using two pumps, after about 10 minutes an Asda person came up and said diesel or petrol, diesel i reply ok you do know it's card only no cash sales,

so i waited for nowt as i did not have my card with me.

On the way home noticed Texaco garage 6 car que so joined, waited 5 minutes they were using 4 pumps, pay first cash or card and restricted to £30 fuel only, so FL as fuel to last at least 10 days the NUK as fuel for same amount of time.

I think it will be the weekend when all hell breaks loose again, as most whom get payed at end of month will be topping up also.

Those boasting on having an EV car will soon have to bite the bullet when the power cuts start and a law just passed in regards to charging times, which the main hours its a no no! for any EV charging..... YOU'VE ALL BEEN CONNED

EV is NOT a smug face!!!!

A smug face are those who keep army jerry cans, who just went into their own personal storage space and refilled their cars with diesel bought months ago. that puts a smile on my face. i have enough to avoid petrol stations for 6 weeks , lovely
