    Work have told us to top up to full even if not needed so that will help :)

  4. The editorial teams at the beeb and sky must be absolutely P@@@ing themselves on their liquid Friday lunches down the boozer today.

    They’ve set out to try to create a bit of panic to report on as no one is panicking over their covid coverage anymore.

    and they’ve only gone and pulled it off within a couple of days. That’s this weekends rolling news sorted. As we speak they’ll be dispatching reporters to all the empty petrol stations they’ve created.

    why report on actual news when you can create your own.

    pay Truck drivers properly that might help
     
  7. Is that what they mean when they say "The wheels came off "

  8. Not quite correct. The BBC inhabit wine bars in Islington and Camden. Please try and be accurate.

    Must dash. There’s a panel of Nigerian feminists discussing Brexit on Radio 4 :thumbsup:

    I think you just have to phone the DVLA, and ask for an HGV license these days. :thumbsup:

    So, a handful of filling stations down South experience a fuel shortage and the BBC together with the rest of the mainstream media can't believe their luck. All day long long they've been screaming "crisis at the pumps", "cars will be stranded due to no fuel", "motorists panic buying due to impending shortages" and so forth. Guess what? Every petrol station between here and Spalding has cars queing around the block. Thanks and well done BBC!!! I expect you're wetting yourselves with excitement at the prospect of reporting the unfolding disaster.
    It's the same with supermarkets, they scour the country desperate to find an empty shelf so that they can hit the panic button. Wouldn't it be great to have a total news blackout for a month and then we could all get back to normal.
    They're supposed to report the news not make it.

    Every bell-end in Bristol / Bath seems to be queuing to get into fuel stations. Been out for a paddle this morning, traffic was horrendous because people are queuing both ways on main roads.
    Twunts.
