Joke's aside really though, got around a 1/4 tank only need to drive about 4 miles to pick up the wife from work, and then her branch of KFC closes Monday as they can't get stock delivered as no drivers so no real need for car, but its an absolute joke the reaction of the sheeple in this country.

You joke but Bernard Matthews had already said there won't be enough turkeys for Christmas, trying to achieve the same as BP saying some petrol stations may run out.

Garages around me all empty I had 6 miles left in one car that’s now on 0 lucky me. Got less than 50 miles in the other not the best when I haven’t been able to get fuel since Thursday and I work 24 mile away.
The funniest thing is I actually do some hgv driving so kind of ironic that no drivers of hgv has caused the shortage and now I can’t get driving.
