You going to fill your car up
My hubbie disappeared ages ago to get some petrol. It's only down the road there must be a huge que. He was only going to put a tenner in. What's everyone else doing? You guys going to fill right up?

This is just my opinion and not a dig at your post.

Re: You going to fill your car up
I wasn't going to bother but a friend of mine kept telling me that I should. Then as I was passed 2 stations they were heaving!!! As my gauge was on red thought I'd better put some in then ended up putting £50 in just to be sure 
. Although I live in Teesside where they are definitely demonstrating tomorrow morning.
I do agree though that it is the panic buying that can lead to problems but I wouldnt dare take the chance, no work = no money I'm afraid. No petrol isnt an excuse they will accept in the NHS.

only got a tenner as I said, certainly don't want to encourage panic buying...looks like it's too late though. I guess don't buy unless you have too

Re: You going to fill your car up
Well I filled up earlier, but only cos I needed to. There was no queue at my petrol station, but then again I live in the country and they reckoned the queues were mostly in towns. I think it is the media that has caused the panic cos most of the suppliers are saying there is plenty. Just my opinion though

Re: You going to fill your car up
I felt left out, so went and but a bit in. You know what it's like you see people queuing and you have to join in
