The shell station on Liverpool Road in Huyton is closed because it's been emptied, and there are ridiculous queues at the asda station in Huyton! Beyond a fucking joke, glad I don't need any fuel today.

[Anubis]

I've got a quarter of a tank so can get by until next week.

Just over half a tank myself, not planning any big trips in the next week so should be well OK.

Dying of hypothermia to the sound of Caribbean music.

Harsh on his mate that.

Lot of complaining going on here. Think of the bright side, on Monday morning you can ring your boss, tell him/her that you can’t come to work because there’s no petrol left in the U.K., then you can sit at home and drink whiskey all day.

Wouldn’t touch that Irish shit,  Brexit means Brexit!

Looking forward to Ethiopia's charity Christmas single for us.

Queues by ours are stretching out of the supermarkets and down the roads. We’re on less than a quarter of a tank and we need the car for four long drives tomorrow. 
 

I’d settled down in my slobs to watch the golf but I’ve had to put some clothes on and now I’m heading out to join the cock queue. If there’s no diesel left tomorrow I’ll be up shit creek.

I filled up at a Tesco near me, they had stewards there and the whole process took about 5 minutes but I imagine I got quite lucky. Had to use that momentum stuff though, the regular petrol had run out.

[manwiththestick]

My light is on with about 40 miles left in the tank, luckily I'm not needing to go anywhere and the wife just queued for about an hour on her way home from work and filled hers up so I can always use that.

 

Just been the Asda in my car for food shopping, the carpark was ramned with cars queuing to get onto the petrol forecourt.

 

Dickheads.

[Bruce Spanner]

I’m not too sure it’s Brexit related in truth, we have shortages here as well as militias blocked the supply lines between Khartoum and Port Sudan and are holding them to ransom.

 

All our markets are fully stocked with fresh fruit and veg and pretty much everything though.

 

I just assume it’s Blighty’s militias playing up, right?

[Bjornebye]

Have they lashed the prices up? 

[littletedwest]

Went asda for some shopping, petrol station shut ran out of diesel and petrol

Scratch that. It’s all over Facebook, confirmed that there’s no diesel in town at all. One of the petrol stations is due a delivery at midnight and that’s common knowledge too. If I’m still up I might go and join the fun, but then that’s wasting the diesel I already have…

If you get fed up queuing for petrol

People should be asking why Hanna Hoyer, BP's agent for tanker deliveries, has her drivers on IR35 contracts. These give the drivers absolutely no employee benefits and protection. No pay when not working whether sick or holidays, no pension provisions unless they pay for them themselves. All on sub 50 grand wages.

 

Less than 20 BP filling stations had supply issues before today and Hoyer is gobbing off saying it's getting worst? Fucking take me back home.
