Filled up in Newport on Monday as I wouldn't have made it home from Bristol otherwise. I don't normally max the tank but I was aware that something might happen as I was taking a Japanese tour party around the UK last time this happened in 2000 and trying to get fuel then was a total nightmare. I suspect, I'll keep it full now whenever the opportunity arises for a couple of weeks until we know whats going to happen.

I had half a tank and on government advice I topped up to a full tank. Normally I would wait for the light and then fill up.

Call me sad I don't give a f**k but if I don't go to work I don't get paid!!

“The unions would have to give seven days notice of any strike so there is no need to queue to buy petrol.”

Did need diesel but all sold out, I need it as I drive for a living, car is showing I have around 100 miles of fuel left which I will use up tomorrow, then I need it to get to the game Saturday, people are such idiots.

Re: POLL !! Be honest now who bought petrol ?

Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:38 pm

I was going to fill up as I'm running on close to empty, but then I saw the queuing on my way home from work and drove straight past. There was no way on a nice sunny evening I was going to waste half an hour of my life queuing in that! I will either try filling up tomorrow at some point or if not, wake up early Saturday, as I have to wake up early for the game anyway.

There's a train from Aberdare to Grangetown every half hour from 7.22am and it'll cost you £7 return. No driving, no parking and you can have a pint :D
