There needn't even be blockades, the public at large has already ballsed up petrol supply by being stupid panicing idiots.

Vicious circle mate people panic buy due to the fact panic buyers will dry the supply out hence rendering them unable to get to work etc. I filled up quite early as i have to visit clients this week otherwise i wouldnt of bothered.

its a knock on effect - blockades are going to happen, so people go out and fill there cars up. Then media report on this and more people go fill up, even if they dont have to. Then media reports on lack of fuel and it just increases etc etc
tbh, if the media didnt hype a lot of this up then it wouldnt be so bad - but they do and the dumb arses all go out and purchase fuel for the sake of it (unless you really need to)

I can't get paranoid even if I was thick enough to do what the other chicken heads are doing, as I'm off to Spain tomorrow and won't be here to see all the petrol fun

Fucking twats was late to my first day at college for my NVQ course today cause they were queing on the fecking A127 by rayleigh weir for petrol 
+ they were all twats with big 4x4's that probably dont need to use the car anyway as im sure their kid could get the bus to school or something

But I'm sure they pay road tax, so your arguement is doomed. Put up with it, you have a valid reason anyway.

The petrol station in Grange ran out of fuel yesterday and the next one up the road has been queing out onto the dual carriageway every time I've been past for the past couple of days
I've got half a tank left, will fill it like I normally do when it gets down into the red. Hope when I come to get some fuel theres none left so I dont have to go to work
