Petrol!

Hi, don't know where to put this... is anyone else having trouble getting petrol?

I have tried 3 times in the last 2 days... including queuing for 10 mins, then 25, to find the petrol had run out 2 cars before me. I wasted 16 miles of petrol, out of 18.

Thankfully, one client's husband had some already for lawnmower, and managed to get mine from 18 to 72. But after today's palaver, it's now 55.

I'm trying to do homecare, and have several vulnerable people relying on me. Local fb groups have decided to not update... please- does anyone have any ideas? X

Pixie, if you can say where you live, perhaps some abers may be able to help. They may know of garages that have petrol and no queues.

Our fault for having to pay loads of money :-). Mally, if he was local here, I'd offer to take him. Can it be rearranged, or is it urgent?

For the first time in London hubby has managed to get petrol. I was with him and witnessed a fight breaking out. We queued for half an hour and got enough to last another couple of weeks.

north hampshire,there are only 2garages near me that're open, but they are managing queues well and it onlt took 25 minutes in toto to queue, fill up and pay and drive off. prices still around 1.35/l
there was a fight going on outside though - some muppet had parked on the pavement, meaning that people who had to mount the pavement with 2 wheels to get round the queue (if they werent waiting) couldnt get by. Resulting in a very older gentleman remonstrating with him, and mr angry chucking his costa at him.
