Petrol availability thread ?

[EDDIE51]

There are a few questions on at the moment saying it is hard to find petrol.
How about an AB network telling each other where there is fuel available? we are all over the country so we should be able to cover most places.
For the record Royston North Hertfordshire.
Both petrol stations open and just the normal trading no queues at 7.45am. Petrol and diesel available.

[ummmm]

I will have a nose when I take the boys to school and report back.

If anyone's in the Rossendale Valley in Lancashire, and I pity you if you are, there's still petrol in the garages here- well, until some scrote nicks it anyway.

[AB Editor]

There's none here, and you can't have any.

I've made this thread sticky so those of you who want your local petrol station drained can share...

[B00]

"There's none here, and you can't have any. "

That's 'cause Ed's hijacked a tanker.

(possibly)

I pictured an armed guard of gnomes around the local filling station.

Take three times a day until panic subsides.

Hi ED and other ABers, I'm still wet behind the ears on AB so bear with me... What is a "Sticky Thread" I've seenn it mentioned often. How does it work, I've done a search but cant find an explanation...

[AB Editor]

While true douglas, it is actual handy if you'd been banking on being able to fill up whenever you want, but because some have panic-bought your usual petrol station is empty.

Bumpkin - the question stays at the top of chatterbank in bold lettering, so that everyone has a chance to see it. Look at this one. All subsequent questions go underneath. This one is the important one. Only ed can make the decision.

[ummmm]

Morrisons - Kettering Road, N'pton, is packed.

Tesco - Wellingborough Road looked fine at 8.30

[EvianBaby]

I'd like to report that the people of Chinnor in Oxfordshire and Aston Clinton, Bucks have not been moronic enough to queue for petrol, so fill ya boots. Or tanks.

[Bumpkin_Clumber]

Ah thank you Starbuck of Eternal Fame, Now I'm enlightened I shall return to the hallowed pages and glorify our estemed ED for his munificence

[Bumpkin_Clumber]

And to return to the thread.....
No problems here around the A5/M42 junction 10 North Warwickshire or surrounding area - a few extra cars but no long Q's, village stations very quiet so are the roads (No-body can afford the fuel cost to go and get fueled up £1:41.9 is average)

[Bumpkin_Clumber]

Diesil that is

[mccfluff]

looks like the people of tamworth are being idiots, both petrol stations in ventura are rammed

[lady-janine]

have just got back from Helston. sainsbury has petrol but no diesel. not a worry to most of the local farmers. did not check out petrol station on main road or tesco's.

lots of people come down here for a holiday especially for half-term (next week). just thought you would like to know.

[Davethedog]

Petrol station owners all over the country are rubbing their hands, I drive past at least 4 on the way to work and all have put their prices up this week and the strike isn't even confirmed yet.

[murraymints]

was out and about in Edinburgh yesterday no obvious problems...yet !!!

[lankeela]

So all of you who are filling up now - are you not going to drive anywhere between now and the 'possible' strike? If that is the case why not leave the petrol in the filling stations for those of us who have to use it to earn a living.

The BP station at the Rabbit Roundabout on the way out of Brighton (or "in to Brighton" of course), seems fairly normal ...

... to the extent that anything around here is ever "normal".

There's also a Shell station just down the road (heading into town) but it's a bit pikey, so I wouldn't go there.
