There are big queue's in derby and it's reported that 2 stations are dry.
I popped out the office and filled up our spare van and the cashier said it's mostly older people who usually fill up once a month are brimming their cars.

That's how the government like it, People lining up to give them money so they in turn can give it to countries like India and Brazil who have bigger economies than us anyway.

The irish had a brilliant idea during the last fuel shortage (not a joke!!). They had a MINIMUM sale of about three quarters of a tank full. This stopped dickheads topping up their tanks every 5 minutes and stopped garages running out of fuel cos most cars weren't running around with full tanks all the time.

Sorry. meant nearly empty tanks....!!
RGM Courier Services

sorry again. I DID mean full tanks. I'm going loopy!!
