fuel strike..

[Andy Allen]

few pumps round our way are running dry due to peeps panic buying due to the looming fuel strike.

whats it like round your way?, have you filled your van up incase the fuel runs out, anyone remember the fuel blockades when the pumps ran dry, do you think it will get to that stage again..

Just filled up van and car today. Too much on to run oot of fuel. 🙂

 

[DHTiling]

Oh and the garages I have passed are busy tonight.

[Andy Allen]

god can this government do anything right...............they have known about it for age's ,then they announce that they are training-up the army so they will be ready ( duuuuuuurrrrrrr) then the trucker just bring the strik e forward , it not hard is it,...............

Getting a bit sick of strikes tbh... At least they have a guaranteed wage every month. The only one I've really agreed with lately was the NHS etc strikes for the pensions.

Hope I get fuelled up next wednesday,,,my pick-up and pikey mobile are a thirsty combination!

Seems canny , over 500 mile on a 100 bar.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

is it worth storing any fuel ? bit dangerous .......

I do think that the time schedules they are given are a tad unfair though. And with the majority unable to meet the schedule the companies are making them even harder to meet and imposing a wage penalty for missed or late schedules...

 

[Andy Allen]

sounds like the post office then, there up in arms because they have to work a bit harder.....welcome to the real world..

There was a queue at a tesco's early this morning but I've driven by a few throughout the day and all seems fairly normal to be honest.

I'd be expecting them all to up their prices a few pence but they seem to be priced the same too.

Crazy really. There hasn't even been a strike. God help us if there is one!

I wouldn't be shocked if it was all a bit of a ploy for the government to get some tax money in. Or the oil companies knowing the price per barrel is high this month or something so they want to flog it all quickly.

The tankers sit in the sea until the price is high, then they dock and sell. You can see them in the sea all waiting if you go down devon way.

Anybody down there see them coming in?

 

[doug boardley]

where I have my diesel account was closed today, run out of fuel, I met the owners daughter when I was walking dog this afternoon and she said that tankers were only bringing in 2/3rds or so of what they should be doing, hence they ran out of fuel. I've still got half a tank in pick-up and Mrs filled her megane up before the panic buying started, but she car shares to work and it's other drivers turn this week so at least hers has a full tank.
