And….start the panic buying.

Looks like there may be a shortage of fireworks soon as well. Can I stockpile some next to the jerrycans?

Technically speaking a jerry can actually has a capcity of 19 litres so storing a full one of those at home would actually be illegal if full of petrol.

Not sure on the regs re. diesel though.

They may be selling 25% more fuel at the moment but people aren’t using any more fuel. So just leave it a while before filling up.

seem to recall someone round our way getting their collar felt (and all their neighbours being evacuated) in 2000 for stockpiling petrol in dustbins!

A41 today M53 to Birkenhead tunnel 5 petrol stations out of fuel, long annoying queues at cheshire oaks Sainsburys, people queing for fuel, i wasnt one of them.

Local news, now, dont panic buy as there is no need,

BBc someone who was once primeminister (soon)says stock up now, but dont panic,

local papers websites say lots of garages out of fuel

Result lots of cars disapeasred off the road, nice for cycling tonight.

Just when I think the general population of this country couldn’t get any dumber, something like this comes along to remind me how wrong I am.

I’m visualising the average nob who’s rushing to stockpile fuel

Ah bollox. I have a job interview in the morning and need more fuel to get there. Looks like I’ll have to join a sodding queue and look like one of the arsholes brimming a tank that they’ll use before the actual (if there is one at all) strike

Ed Milliband is stockpiling fuel?
