Hmmmm 45mins to get on the forcourt at Tescos due to all this panic petrol buying earlier this evening. I have a slow punture in one of the car tyres that needed to be topped up before morning.
I was fine for petrol but still had to que with the masses grrrrrr. If only I had the slightest clue and euipment I reckon it would have been quicker to fix the dam punture my self whilst in the que haha.
Thing that getts me tho is that no strike has yet even been anounced. If and when a strike does get the go ahead it is my belief that the unions must give at least one weeks notice to the strike so that the powers that be can put in place a plan to stop the country coming to a stand still. Yet due to the goverment saying the public would be well to stock up on fuel all and sundri seem to be out at once forming an orderly que to top up the tanks like the world as we no it will end. And then theres me in the sharabangle saying excuse me please but I only want air for the tyre as I have been a lazy little bastard and keep on topping it up every other day.
Note to self lad get the feckin slow puncture fixed  |

I think the Coalition have played a blinder by creating panic when fuel deliveries will continue to operate as normal until Unite shoot themselves in the foot and call a strike, and then get the blame for their being no petrol. The govt have stoked the fire without it even being lit. Masterstroke. |

the masterstroke is in all the tax on the fuel they are now collecting earlier than they normally would have done, especially as we are a week away from the end of the financial year |

"makes me laugh that, on jeremy vine today, they were blaming the government for it.
how is it their fault people are stupid?"
Indeed not stupid, 81% rise in sales of petrol = 81% up, in tax for them, but stupid for creating the situation? YES! |

again, how did they create the problem?
Unite said they are happy to strike.
since when have the government told people what to do, and they have done it?
no, the government havent created this problem. the selfish nature of the British public have created this problem. anyone with half a braincell knows there is no strike happening anytime soon. its not like the blockades where they can happen without notice, but instead, its the me me me attitude of people that comes to the fore once again.
god forbid we ever have aproper world war and rationing again as i really dont think this society would be able for it. |

"tescos 40 litres of veg oil cup of paraffin = sorted"
that would have been OK, except the tesco's was blocked and I couldn't get into the shop for the queue at the petrol station.
The pound shop sells one litre of veg oil of 99p so guess I am off there to get 20 litres later - that'll do me for the week.
The benefits of one of the cars being ancient and diesel and running a Bosch pump, I guess. |

Is this the same government that tell us to stockpile our own fuel?? I would describe them as very stupid to be honest.  |

It's true about the timings - the earliest they can strike now is Easter Monday because they're not having the talks until this Monday and have to give 7 days notice of the strike. |

I think the really stupid thing would be to ignite the fuel you have stored at home. Petrol's funny like that, it loves a nice little flame. |

We should read the thread about 10%.
10% of a group starts doing something, it influences those who don't have an opinion on the matter.
So a few start to panic buy fuel, the rest start to follow, because they don't understand the situation.
The situation is.
Union has a mandate to call a strike, this is a final card played by a union.
There will be a 7 days notice when the strike will start.
At the moment, fuel is being delivered normally.
Garages have run out due to panic buying. Garages are refueled on a normal cycle (depending on normal sales).
Love to all  |

This panic buying of petrol has it's roots in basic pyschology. Because of there being a perceived scarcity of petrol, people feel they have to get some before it runs out. And im sure once drivers see long queues, other drivers will feel they are missing out and join that queue, even if they hadnt thought about it before seeing the queue.

EH? isn't that how most fire are started with some sort of ignition. the silly thing is adding fuel to the fire like say a few gallons of BP's best So if your next door neighbour stored fuel in his house then supplied the ignition you wouldn't have a problem with it? I certainly would |
