Have I accidently been transported back to 1974???????
Honestly, I understand nothing.
This^^^^^ Absolutely!!!!True. And some here who responded rather negatively to my thread about poor pay and conditions for LGV Drivers might like to revisit their comments...
Anywhere with any will have a massive queue, if Nottingham city is anything to go by....
Started our tour round the Scottish west coast islands this morning. We set off from Keswick, no problems filling up there, & no sign of queues or closures on any of the garages we passed today on our way up. Is this panic buying a southern thing?
Round my way on the Sussex coast the police are adopting there usual modus operandi at the first sign of any problem and keeping well out of the way.This guy could find himself in a heap of trouble with the law and his insurance company if he kept it at home.
As others have said - total idiocy.

Queues round here at 07.30 on way to work were totally ridiculous, went past 5 stations, all with huge amounts of folks waiting, and the plonkers trying to turn right into them while blocking the road from both ways.. Police will be loving this extra work.
There really isn’t. The problem was in getting it to the forecourts, that’s now been made worse by the f***witsRound my way on the Sussex coast the police are adopting there usual modus operandi at the first sign of any problem and keeping well out of the way.
All the local petrol stations are now empty and shut. If there wasn't a fuel shortage before, there is now!
Pie and peas in Waddinton.
Next door to the Arms.Not a bad way to spend a day...
Waddy Arms, Higher or Lower Buck? Or none of them
There was a a haulage company owner on 4 this morning called Toby something. He said they are not struggling with the long distance jobs, just the short and medium distance ones. I assume delivering fuel is a shortish kind of job. The retired or doing other jobs people don't want to come back for these types of driving jobs. I wondered if the short run jobs had too much city work ie too much traffic, too many stops and unloading and not enough time away from the wife.I thought tanker drivers were a separate breed from your general HGV driver? Were all the tanker drivers foreigners as well then? I thought they were already on a good crack so am surprised to hear we are short of them as well.
BBC news this morning had reporter called Phil McCann at a petrol station this morning.

Interestingly he said it was nothing to do with Brexit, just that the pay and conditions and living costs in Eastern Europe made it less attractive here.
