Or maybe stocking up as fuel is probably going to be £2 a litre soon! Maser as a daily is not cheap!

Yes but have people not learnt that if you all buy fuel coz it might run, out or might go up in price, but when you don’t actually need it, then it runs out and causes mayhem.
I fully expect pumps to be dry by the morning and I won’t be able to get any.

The problem is they queue to put £5 in the tank....

Actually, **** it. I have no idea what the problem is. People are complex, illogical and do **** that looks strange to me, OTOH:

Apparently many people think this is actually a thing.....

Shelf? I assume you have the cyanide pills handy? I mean, a shelf isn't going to last long!

Presently 13 bottles on shelf. Amazon are kindly sending 3 more and I’m en route through Billund to Manchester tomo. Something normally falls in bag if on offer.
so, should be fine for the 12 days I’m home.
Only because I’m away from home Sunday night tho. :)

I’ve had to fill up one of cars tonight with diesel as it was on empty, my local garage with 8 diesel pumps is completely dry of diesel. Had to drive another 8 miles and Tesco’s had some thankfully but already one pump is out of action…. Ground hog day :mad:

I also tried to buy some more central heating oil first this morning too, but the price has risen to over 72pence per litre up from 53pence when I bought 500litres only 3 weeks ago. Rather wait and see what happens, probably got another 4weeks of oil left max….

It's a Mad World we're living in considering we are the most intelligent of the species.
I'm glad I live in a small village but I'm sure we will be affected shortly if all this büllshit continues :(

You think? Check in with one of your cats or a much-loved dog and see who suffers more from anxiety.

I know your communist ideology isn't much aligned with Buddhism, but I'd give serious thought to coming back as a family pet. I'm thinking an old-English sheep-dog, You have the hair for it.
