Petrol and Diesel Shortages

[TeeDee]

On the back of the BBC 'Phil McCann' reportage did anyone catch the latest reporters name the BBC dispatched to the pumps??

A Mr Dan Rivers.

D.Rivers.

DRIVERS.





Maybe they are doing it on purposes?

DVLA dragging their feet.

DVLA office half empty thanks to militant union, writes GUY ADAMS

Rush hour in Swansea, and on the roads leading to the headquarters of the DVLA, the city's biggest workplace, traffic jams are conspicuous by their absence.

( sorry to those that find the Daily Mail unpalatable - I can find other links that will say the same thing )

I don't think it's Government inspired, more tabloid; they'd run out sensational stuff to drown us with.

I've just been out, no queues, all pumps operational, everything normal around here.

We had no problems fuelling the camper on the way to Somerset despite no fuel around Chichester where there seemed to be a typical city folk panic going on. Only place we saw a closed garage was Morrison’s in Glastonbury. As the van can carry a fair bit of fuel, we returned home a week later, quite relaxed, and still with a 1/3 of a tank left.

I’ll probably keep a couple of the 20l cans full, but that’s more for my own convenience and laziness than anything else. It’s handy not to have to drive to go get a half tank of diesel, makes a lot of sense really.
