Hubby has gone out to que for diesel, he passed Tescos on the way home and said they were queing then E x

Well, it took me 1 hr 45 mins to get to work tomorrow because there was a big accident at a roundabout that links 2 main dual carriageways. 1/2 hr is what it should have taken. I was not amused. Anyway I decided that I better stop for petrol on my way home and I didnt have too much left. What a silly idea that was. Why didnt anyone tell me that there was a fuel crisis. Queues everywhere, but I did get some. Fi

have just been past work(one of the local petrol stations) and they are queued right to the road,feel really bad as have 3 days off,and they look so busy we are still only 95.9 tho,not as bad as some places

All ok here at the moment in Haywards Heath

Hi Zoe Have pm you xx Vikki xx

Got a little petrol station around our corner no que there suppose they will wait till the big places run out then descend on them. Derek just said no they are all queing up Copse Road at the big one. Germaine x

Vikki any chance you could send me detaisl of where in Cumbria the police are at stations. I'd like to send a photographer if its not too far for him to go Zoe

well hubby got his petrol. Tried Asda first but people couldnt get in our out - ended up going thru another retail park car park just to get out! And those poor shoppers - they cant even get out just to leave after doing their shopping. It is so busy its unbeleivable. Vikki xx

There was a big queue at Tesco's at the weekend and some pumps were out of fuel, we went up the road to the BP garage and they had a sign up 'No Fuel'. Husband's going to try and fill up a bit tonight just so the car's there if we need it and then he'll use his Motorbike to get to and from work this week as that's got petrol in already. I suppose it's going to be worse in large towns - I'm in Poole (Dorset) and I suspect it's going to get silly here? Last time everyone emptied the supermarket shelves of food - panic buying because they were worried they wouldn't get there again! I think a lot of people felt a bit silly when it all settled down again. Does anyone know how long they are going to keep up this blockade for - thought I heard someone say a week, but maybe they meant just this week? Kaye x

Just come from Tesco in Peterborough from shopping and noticed security restricting access as the forecourt was choc er block John

Just been to morrisons and they are backing up a least 30 cars

Hi Vikki - it's been alright here the last couple of days, I filled up Saturday at Texaco with no problem. However I've just got back from Tesco and the pumps are being manned by Security / Police and there's a substantial queue. PS I'm in Wiltshire not Virginia, must change my name back, lol!

Haven't noticed, I tend to walk to most places

From my house I can see the road outside our local petrol station. No queues at all here in Herts. CB >|<

Hubby just phoned to say he was low on petrol whilst on an errand for work, thought hed put a few quid in and when he got there, the queues were massive. Been sitting for 15 minutes up to now in the queues! Said hes gonna fill her right up coz he aint doing that again. How silly is our society sometimes! Or maybe thats just Cumbria for you :-( Vikki xx

We just filled up on the M6 on route home from Brimingham.Petrol was 99.9 p a litre,no queues for petrol.When we got home,stopped off at Tescos for milk and the queue at the petrol station was back onto the main road.No police yet though lol.Petrols only 90.9p a litre here where i am at the moment Anna :-)

no queues in my area. :-) Joy

Hi Police are manning Tesco, Morrisons and Asda where I live......Are we in that much danger of riots over petrol and are we honestly going to run out or not be able to afford to buy it? I doubt it. How bad where you live? Vikki xx
