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.

Good morning early birds!

The station in Hereford was the last one coming into the Town on the Worcester Road, right on the traffic lights... Had to look twice myself on the way in and on the return just to make sure.

Nothing but queues or empty pumps around Norwich.

And one place was showing 149.9 for diesel! Outrageous.

I have half a tankfull which will see me through until early next week by which time the new deliveries will have arrived (i hope!).

Yes, had to go to the Principality BS - don't know the area so couldt use any back routes.. dont think they would have helped any as it took 20 mins to get to the Worcester turning... traffic going straight on was solid.. good journey home though onlty took 1-3/4hrs at a nice steady 55-60 fuel conserving speed until I hit Birmingham then it was 40 thro the traffic management scheme on the M42. Bet the speed cameras burnt out today as people were flying past to slam their brakes on as they got to a gantry...Ideots, its an average speed over a set distance area.

With apologies for the dispepsic fingure.... Bumpkin keeps pawing me with his one front leg then falling over, silly great mutt

My friend has just called me from Adel in Leeds. He's coming down to Brighton tomorrow morning to visit me for the weekend. He's got enough petrol for 69 miles and can't find any in Leeds. Anybody from Leeds on here who can help please?

These idiots panic buying are forcing people who need fuel to work to panic buy. We run 4 vans and they are on the road a lot of the day going between jobs. Even though they might be over half full this morning we couldn't take the risk they'd run out tomorrow and not be able to get any. No fuel = no work. So the lads spent ages having to queue this pm to make sure they could top up even though we really didn't want to have to do that. It's a complete farce.

ummmm

And they are panic buying food as well.

He might have better luck tomorrow ladybirder, a certain amount of deliveries expected on Friday.

I wish one of these people could tell me exactly when this strike is going to happen. They obviously know something the rest of the world doesn't. Because it won't be in the next week at least. Morons!

I don't have to drive but rely on other people to drive me where I want to go, but I would like to say that I feel really sorry for everyone who has to drive to work, or to hospitals, or to visit elderly relatives. I hope it soon sorts itself out.
