Thought this thread may be handy in the coming few days or possibly weeks. :eek: :ragin:
Thread rules:
This thread is purely for folk to record a snapshot of what they find to be the situation in any particular area of the country.
If you are in a town and you see all the filling stations have "closed" signs up, record it here.
If you pass a filling station and they have "No diesel" signs up etc., again, record it here.
Please remember that the information given here is only a snapshot at the time the member drove past or went into the filling station. New deliveries may have arrived, or stock may have run out.
No banter or discussions, it is purely a thread to record "now" information, although if new information is available, you can "reply with quote" to update the info given by a previous user.
As much as possible maintain the original post format.

Leven...all four stations have fuel...no rationing.
Was verbally abused by a woman whilst i filled a green gallon petrol can with unleaded today. "Its people like you that have caused this panic and shortage of fuel!" she said. "You should be ashamed of yourself"
I slid open the van door to show my wee cement mixer sitting inside the van.
I said "and Madam...its intelligent people like you that scare the hell out of me!...OH!!!!...did you think my big red van ran on petrol?"
I wish I could describe the look on her face....:laugh:

Report from County Durham, no shortages no excessive queues. Although, there was a reported shortage of milk at the local garage, this was resolved when the milkman turned up he was running late.
