Just a few more days and all the panicking people will have full tanks and bowlfuls of petrol in their garages leaving the pumps full and free for the next week. I like everybody blaming the government. Since when did anybody take notice of government advice ? Surely if that happened we would all use buses, exercise every day and drink one pint once a week on a Saturday.

Still no queues in Hunstanton, drove past 3 garages yesterday and only 1 car on each forecourt at 2 of them and 2 cars at tescos, no barriers, no queues, no panic in rural norfolk  :happy2:

**Update/Edit***

My father has just told me that Tesco have run out of Diseasal! (Unleaded and Momentum still available and no limits on fuel amount), he had to go to one of the other garages 3 miles away to top up with fuel before their 400 mile drive to house in cornwall, they were limiting cars to £25 of fuel at the fuel station  :stupid: so he got his £25 and drove over the other side of the road to the other garage (400yds away) and put another £25 in  :happy2:, that will see him down to the land of Very Cherry safely enough  :grin:

A woman has accidentally set fire to herself after transferring fuel in her home, while the union representing tanker drivers rules out the threat of Easter strikes in the ongoing row over petrol.

The woman, in her 40s, suffered 40% burns and was taken to hospital after petrol ignited in the kitchen of her home in York.

She was attempting to decant the fuel from one container to another using a jug, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

The petrol ignited because she was using her cooker at the time, the fire service added.

I think it's crazy as we all want fuel to be cheaper but all that happens is people panic for no reason so you end up with the fuel companies having you all by the bollox so they can charge what they want  :stupid:
