Anyone know of any local garages that still have supplies of this rare product?  We are running on vapours!  I only want £10's worth as I should be getting my car back today or tomorrow!

If you get too low filter some used cooking oil (as its thinner than brand new oil...which will also run ok), as long as its mixed with some in the tank the car will run perfectly well, I used to do a 50% mix in my mondeo diesel and it ran great but smelt like a chip fryer!

Disclaimer...I cannot be held responsible for any ill effects if your car is not one of the types of filter that cannot run the oil!

No where this end has any petrol either - Im running on fumes too

arnt deliveres supposed to get back on track today though?

Dunno if it's gonna get back to normal or not today.

Tesco had diesel this morning, filled up £70 aat 9 am.

I just filled the post van up at our local Texaco, £65  :shock:

This is for a little Vauxhall Combo 1.7 diesel  :o

£1.36 a litre is disgusting.

If the strike don't end Shell have 3 days to replenish stocks from tomorrow before the next one. Not sure why the increased demand at other garages should cause supply issues. Unless the lazy bastard tanker drivers are refusing to cross Shells picket line.

I just drove back from a long weekend ooop north. No issue getting petrol whatsoever. Anywhere. However the last garage was out of buffet bars. Bastards.

The government needs to step in soon, it's getting absolutely ridiculous.

I've heard stories of ambulances unable to run cos of fuel costs being so high.

You need to be very well off these days to drive a car. I'm just thankful that I don't need my car for work and only use it for leisure purposes.

Shame the strike is about pay for the tanker drivers...I beleive the protesters should just follow it on.

They can lower the tax, but it'd be a short term solution to the ever rising price of oil. Demand has increased more than supply, price goes up.

Some bloke from Shell was on Radio 5 yesterday, the majority of the drivers are employed through a third party agency - and this new pey deal the third party is ofeering would take the average driver salary for that organisation to £41,000... for fucks sake get back to work you cunts.

Triple post.

41k?? :shock:

Fuck me thats easy money. Considering you have to stop every 4 hours anyway.

Oops. Sorry.

I couldn't do that job. Would drive me insane.

Abdul in the little garage next door to my work has diesel left - I just went in to fill up with petrol as most of the garages round here are now empty or closed except to emergency services

The queues have been up the road all day - he told me he took 16 grand in fuel Sat and 18 grand yesterday - he has also put the prices up but is justifying it by saying he is the only one who can offer the service in the area  :-))(

Fair enough though isn't it? Everyone bleats about Deans in Marlborough charging 140-odd a litre. He was the first person in the country to go over a quid as well.

But if people don't like it drive to Fyfield (5 minutes) or Chiseldon (10 mins), it's not that hard.

I spose - but there is nowhere else to drive to at the moment!

he doesnt sell mint feasts either   :twisted:

Now that's criminal.

Why did I laugh when JFW said ''Abdul in the garage next to me'' ?

I fancy ordering one of Hondas new Hydrogen powered cars. only 200 gonna be made though. And most of those will be going to celeb in hollwoodland :-))(

Where were you planning on filling it up STA?

As for Paula (Abdul) you should have given the bloke a slap.  It's expensive enough without adding to people's misery.

welcome to the future my TEFriends !!!

Hopefully people will remember his shinanigans when things return to normal and not shop there anymore.

Had a look around  while I was out, 2 closed esso garages, the garage by co-op in old town had petrol and Asda had something but I couldn't see what.

The bastards at work have put me on the essential workers list so that means i have to come to work if the pumps run dry and everyone else can stay at home :evil:  .I was looking forward to a few days on the golf course.

Tesco ran out of diesel this afternoon, they have unleaded petrol though.

i rented a Vauxhall Vivaro van over the weekend, £40 in diesel for Norwich-London and back which I thought wasn't too bad. Probably would have been a tenner cheaper not too long ago though.

Driving after about a year off was ace ace fun. Left London at midnight on Sunday and ragged it back - the beauty of a hire vehicle is that you can do pretty much anything in it.

Asda's my only hope methinks.

Everything is fine in boring Calne.

OOOOOOOOOO just wait till the gypsys come!  :wink:

£2 a litre :shock:  :o

That is fucking appalling, pure profiteering by a greedy wanker.

Simple supply and demand though really.

Exactly fair play to him

Wish I owned a garage at the moment, just picked up my car from teh repair center (motofix - do not deal with) and have no petrol left so am off on teh hunt in a minute

If people are stupid enough to pay it, then fair play to him!

Consumer backlash! He's backed down and put it to normal prices, max fill up £5.

Consumer stupidity. Now every fucker's going to have to try and eke out as many miles as they can from less than 4 litres of fuel!

I would also like to complain that OK magazine has gone up £1 an issue this week - But I simply HAD to buy it for Wayne and Colleens wedding  :oops:  I feel like Ive paid a little bit towards there wedding now

Also randomly my Ex boyfriend and his new finacee are in OK for winning an engagment ring from H Samuel - good job I never married him having a piece of tat engagement ring like that!!  :soapy tit wank:

Haha. Will we see repeats of the (locally) infamous Somerfield riot?!  :D

My friends florists shop window got smashed in those infamous riots! I would have gone to the gypsy meeting at the sports centre last night but I fell asleep on the sofa when I got in from work

Having only been back in the area for 24 hours, and not living in Calne, my general attitude was moderately apathetic. (ie I didn't bother either)

well I say I was going to the gypsy meeting - I was actually going to Boxfit and was going to casually drop into the meeting after  :P

please dont mislead Mr Robinson whilst you are back!! hes been calling in sick way to much recently!  :soapy tit wank:

How much time do you think I spend hanging round with my little brother's friends?  :shock:
You needn't worry, I'm barely going to be in the country over the next 2 months so he'll have to mislead himself!

whta I meant was maybe you could cast your mature eyes over those little scamps  :soapy tit wank:

How many turned up for the gypo meeting yesterday? Any idea?

Funny how the fair didn't turned up last week, as they were worried they would get a beating again.

Im not sure - Im working later so Ill find out - They were expecting a big turnout  

Cant wait to go straight to one work straight from another work on about 2 hours sleep! my boyfriend was ill all night last night

14%!!! Cunts!

And the morale is join a big union, go on strike to blackmail your employer, get a big pay rise.

Let's all do it.

I did do it. got a measly 4.2% over 3 years!

I chucked £20 in on Sunday and thank god for new work, takes virtually no time to get there so doesn't cost me much.  If I was still commuting to Cheltenham I'd be screwed.

One things for sure, glad I got a railcard for footy next season as considering its going to cost me £34 return for Leeds I doubt I'll be driving to many games bar the likes of Northampton or similar distance.
