The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Alan Harper's Tash]

As I said earlier, I’m waiting until early next week to fill up when everyone has full tanks parked up at home.

The majority of the media in this country are malign fuckers, they really are.

There may have been isolated issues before, but they’ve turned this into a full on clusterfuck with a few news bulletins and front pages. Absolute twats.

I went past four petrol stations on the way to work - two of them with queues backing up and onto dual carriageways, one with queues crippling a 6 way roundabout, and one congesting a retail park to the point people couldn’t get on or off.

Came glamping about an hour away from home this evening, and no where round here has any, all the petrol stations are completely closed, even the little indy ones.

Fucking Costco this morning in Oldham, roads gridlocked getting in...don't panic or tell him your name Pike!!!

It's no help that the wonderful BBC say don't panic but PANIC on the hour every hour..... Wankers.

Stop arguing about panic buying petrol, I’m getting emotional. In fact I’m filling up here

Nicking that mate

I don't even think there were isolated issues until today I'd not seen a petrol station closed anywhere BP say they've had to close a handful out of 1320, and fuck me every pillock going's trying to get into a garage. If I didn't know better I'd say some money grabber was organising this shite.

I remember picking up an Insignia company car in 2009 and as usual it was on fumes. Went over their road to put petrol in and when I hit £120 I genuinely checked there wasn't a hole in the tank - then I saw it was - I think - about £1.52 per litre !

How much was on the floor we had one of those 70l tank, You need to demand a refund.

Not entirely sure what you mean. At 1.50 a litre in a 70 litre tank is about £110 - then there is the reserve in the filler pipe

70l is £105 that's some filler pipe I could never get anywhere near £120 you must have pushed it in. :-)

Timing of leak about oil giant's pleading fuels suspicions it is more about a lobbying campaign for looser EU immigration policies
