Do what I do - put them next to my collection of fireworks, wood for the stove, and just below the gas boiler.....

Looks like this is becoming a problem now, the Union has managed to cause a possible fuel crisis without even calling the poxy strike yet. The Government were idiotic with their idiotic advice but I think we've also seen yet more evidence that we're a nation that needs to be spoon fed and treated like Children, certainly one without any capacity for logical rational thought. People seem to have replaced their own opinions, thoughts and decisions with those of the newspaper headlines.:banghead:

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

All i can say is this sudden outpouring of idiocy from the public will do wonders for the petrol companies monthly profits and the drivers overtime ,can't wait to see what Red Len's got up sleeve for the next time

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

Possibly. But I should think that many people will also try to reduce the number of miles that they drive. So when the dispute is over, many people will most likely use up their stockpiles, and profits will be lower that month.

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

AH ,time for a price hike then

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

Maybe. Can't help but think people are using more fuel driving all around the place in a mad panic than that they would conserve by acting like an adult.

Thats the most hilarious thing about it.

One here my local came 15miles down the A road went looking around for petrol yep guessed it RAN OUT OF THE STUFF:rolleyes:

Its like the Many UK population now ZOMBIE mode

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

My entire argument over this situation is that the drivers took a ballot to strike, they have NOT gone on strike yet, yet since all this started we have had this idiotice government coming out with all this info on what to do, they tell us that armed service personnel have been training to fill up garages.

Then the government tell us what to do ie if the tank is half full to fill up, carry some in a jerry can, which has been condemed by the fire brigade, and also some guy from the oil companies.

Motorists have fallen for the old con trick and look at the queus - all started by Cameron and co.

And still the tanker drivers haven't gone on strike yet.

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

So because some people are incapable of thinking for themselves and showing some common sense it's all the governments fault :rolleyes:

I popped out from work at lunchtime to the local Asda (Hyson green) as I only had enough fuel to get me home & poss back to work tomorrow. Instead of finding hoards of irate drivers syphoning dry the forecourt there was no mass panic, no fighting to get in the que & all I had to do was wait about 2 minutes stick 55ltr of derv I'm my car, pay & calmly drive away & Asda didn't hike up the prices 142.7 :) all is good & I can drive to work for another 4 weeks.

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

alferret, you want to come to London then, jo public here are totally bonkers, and if they could put fuel in there cars apart from the tank they would.

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

All our local ASDA's are out of fuel, police are breaking up queues to the local Tesco because they are causing massive traffic problems.

My car has about a quarter left, enough for a month or two.

I wonder if the bus companies are panic-buying too?

Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike
 

Once my petrol gone there strike it stays in garage not queuing hate queuing longish periods.

Ours still getting hammered Feel for businesses who had work disrupted. Normally its very quite taxis & firms just turn up get fuel and go.
