There was a guy on the local Ascot group getting all aggro because there was a classic car auction on at the racecourse on Sunday (very big, well publicised event), and that they clearly should have cancelled it because people were coming to ascot and taking all the petrol from the local petrol stations that should be reserved for locals...
I noticed our local mouth-breather collective had started on the "people coming from Diss to Harleston (10-15 mins drive) for fuel and now I can't drive Kortnee-Mae 1.5 miles to school."
Kill them.
I saw that on that news;

I've been trying to find something I read t'other day from Cornwall that was in a similar vein. It went something like this;
"We Cornish say the tourists shouldn't be allowed any; Cornish fuel for Cornish people".
"Can you call it Cornish fuel if it wasn't made there?".
"This person dpesn't speak for everyone in Cornwall. Some of us want you to fill up so you can fuck off."

I just remembered, the late Anna Nicole Smith was in that video doing that bit - proper random!

The "Cornish" do make me laugh
We are on holiday next week and had planned to visit Cornwall in the motorhome but I think we might get chased out Fvck 'em.

I put £50 of "that E10 crap" :rolleyes: in the Jag lunchtime. Not much of a queue in Harleston and had the girl who eventually put £12 in and then did a weekly shop while she was there pulled actually up to a pump instead of waiting at the entry of the forecourt, there would have been almost no queue at all on the road.
Dunno what all the fuss was about lol

Never understood this. There was nearly a bust-up yesterday at the Tesco - as I was waiting further back in the queue some bloke in a Fiesta near the front suddenly went zipping on to the forecourt past a few others. I couldn't see at the time but they'd done the same and sat at the edge of the forecourt. Morons

I’ve directed traffic before as idiots can’t figure this out. If they wait an extra minute for a pump they go mad, it’s pathetic.
Our local one had someone from the petrol station directing people to the pumps yesterday as it was creating problems for the other shops people couldn’t get to.
Dave!

I feel sorry for my mate. He's taking part in the Round Britain run again this year, an event in which they drive old Triumphs from London to John O Groats to Lands End and back to London in 48hrs. It's roughly 2000 miles and over 100 cars take part raising money for charity. They've already got over £50k of peoples money and are undoubtedly worried about getting fuel on the way round, particuarlly in the highlands. It takes a huge amount of planning, so putting it off for another year is the last resort.

Dropping off the little one this morning the queue to the petrol station we go *near* on the way was blocking traffic a quarter mile away. I bet there's still a queue when I go to to pick her up shortly.

The two stations I pass on the way in both had petrol and were busier than usual but no massive queues.
The first signs things are starting to calm down a little.

No queue. Don't go past, so can't see if they've run out or just gone back to normal. Hoping for the latter.
