As luck would have it, I topped up the car a day before the crisis broke out. I claim no credit. It was pure luck.

My impression is that the queues for petrol have more or less ended now.

My best was when I had two accounts with tiny sums at the Bradford and Bingley. After my tax return, I decided to the accounts. I went in just before the branch closed on the Friday afternoon and closed my accounts. On Saturday morning it was announced that B&B were in administration.

Yep. Remoaner created panic. Once everybody has topped up, it ends

This morning the local Tesco had people marshalling cars into a queue around the car park, perhaps 20 vehicles long, not counting the ones they had already let into the fuel station.

That's ten minutes queueing?

My wife's journey to work is usually about half an hour. Drive to the Park and Ride and get on the bus.

Today it took two and a half hours. All routes have a petrol station on them. Including the bus route from the Park and Ride to work.

I didn't need to get fuel, so I have no idea how long it took to get onto a pump.

He did not say it was cheap just that it was there. There is no shortage, just silly people and one wonders if the deliveries are stepped up, whether there will then be a shortage further down the road. Its the first really chilly day today, so I foresee all those cyclists getting back in their nice warm cars from now on, so watch this space. Brian
