At least Rishi Sunak will be happy seeing all that revenue come in.......!

Just interviewed on Radio 4's programme, from a guy who runs a forecourt in Coventry.. He told PM that drivers are sitting outside the fuel distributors waiting to follow the tankers to the forecourts....!

An owner of one of our local stations has been in the news saying they had someone queue for nearly an hour and then put £1.80 worth of fuel in.

And probably used more than that stop/starting and idling the engine in the queue.......!

I need to drive towards Hungerford tomorrow from Clapham. I have 60 miles range in my car, should I chance my arm that something will be open along the way or is that very unlikely?

(I can take the train but I'd rather not)

Boris says no issues.

If Boris says that it must be true.....!

BBC reporting on this has been awful.

That's why I started this thread on PH, knowing that PHer's would be far better at reporting the situation.....!

Out of interest, would there be any law against buying a large public address system and blasting the entrance to the refineries with constant rick astley (or other annoyance) 24/7?
