Slightly OT - Petrol Panic

Need a full tank for next week urgently so only being half full I
decided to join in the petrol panic something I hate doing.

I decided if I saw one open and no queue I would take the opportunity
to fill up.

Well first BP place they were queuing out down the road then
Sainsburys was chaos as was Morrisons. I thought stuff it not joning
in that I'd rather go without.

Then guess what on my way home local Shell garage open and with petrol
and every pump empty.

Good old Shell they should have these strikes more often.

Best time to go will be around 7pm if you don't want to get caught in a queue
and presuming there's still some petrol around. That way, everyone will be in ...

West Midlands, actually about three miles from Kingsbury oil terminal
where all the pickets are.

The stations are empty of punters round here in Essex and no sign of a
shortage.

What about human responsibilities, I wonder?

Nah, I might as well be speaking Latin..........
