Oranoco Dec 11, 2005 12:01 PM

Yep. Missus went out and came back in saying the petrol light was on. I told her to fill the fucker up. :cry:

She's headed off to the horse so I assume will get fuel in Stevenage. I assume she did it ok as I haven't had a phone call from her telling me I'm a cnut yet :cry:

Graham S1 Dec 11, 2005 12:14 PM

We really are a nation of fuuckwits...

All the advice on the news is dont panic buy..... so what do we do... panic buy.


Talk about a self fullfilling prophecy....


Good excuse for not going to work on monday and tuesday though..... sorry... got no petrol... everyone else in the office must have bought it :cry:

aduz Dec 11, 2005 12:27 PM

oh thats what that thing on the news was :cry: :oops:

Jim Galbally Dec 11, 2005 12:32 PM

now i KNOW its stupid, but im going to make sure i fill up today.

not because i think there's a fuel shortage, but because i think EVERY OTHER BASTARD IS GOING TO BUY ALL THE PETROL :wall:

i like to think i'm in the minority that HAS to buy at times like these, as a full tank of petrol in my car lasts me only 200 miles, so if i dont fill it up now, and i cant but petrol mid-week then i'm carless :(

its the stupid pratts who fill up their cars that never get driven (1 tank would last them about 3 months) that wind me up :wall: and the people who fill up containers etc? ARRRGH... CVNTS :wall:

Shocking news, it looks like some thing out of a film. Jeees

neilm Dec 11, 2005 01:04 PM

Jim....

The Buncefield depot ONLY supplies BEDS, HERTS & BUCKS


OTHER AREAS WILL BE UNAFFECTED as they are supplied by different depots..

oh sweet im gonna be able to get petrol next week then lol

lil_me Dec 11, 2005 02:45 PM

Been told they are panic buying up here in the north east aswell, madness, the only affect it will have on up here is them having to supply those areas aswell. My friends boss (she works at a petrol station) said 'prefect reason to make the most of it and put the prices up'

MoonDustSaph Dec 11, 2005 02:55 PM

Bet the next thing is they'll put the price up :wall:

You just wait and see. Hope i'm wrong tho.

Jim Galbally Dec 11, 2005 04:01 PM

neil, that doesnt matter, every stupid cvnt in the southeast is going to panic buy!

Too much stress in this country. If I cant get fuel ha. Day off then I guess.

gearboxman Dec 11, 2005 04:08 PM

Thing is, it's the AVIATION FUEL that's burning, not petrol :?

If theres a shortage of a commodity, then Yes it does

I saw that a Bakery had its windows blown out. Better get down Asda's sharpish and stock up on Pies and Cake incase theres a shortage...

saffsta Dec 11, 2005 04:42 PM

How many actual depots are there in the country?

Rich_w Dec 11, 2005 05:14 PM

30 give or take AFAIK

This is the 5th largest. As Bernie* says mainly Aviation fuel and Kerosine.

* Thanks for the reply to my email the other day about "Impartial Advice" not sure if it was you or a colleague. But cheers :clap:

Sometimes I think this country is the 51st state :wall:

"They say jump, you say how high" comes to mind :roll:

DanRSturbo Dec 11, 2005 11:04 PM

I got plenty of fuel to get me to work, and the RST has 3 1/4 tank, so i'll be alright for the Essex meet. :top: :top:
