“Only a mug or a pauper let’s his car get down to the fuel light coming on….here’s a story about when I let my fuel run out”
I have been a mug, a wanker and worse in my life,I will happily hold my hand up to it.
I have certainly been a pauper too! I may be one again
How very un NSC

This thread is about farcical petrol shortages caused by people panic buying. I've never engaged in Brexit debates but you in particular seem to be crow-barring it in at every opportunity. There are logistics issues being suffered across world shipping from containers, European and domestic haulage.
Traffic in Shoreham is not a new phenomenon either. Maybe you should move abroad, might do you good.

Haha! No harm meant, sounds like quite an interesting story . Jjust gave me a chuckle as I’m sat in traffic watching the petrol seekers lose their shit with each other. All over petrol that was there yesterday and will be here for the foreseeable. What fools we are!
Yes dear.

My wife and three year old had to wait over 3 hours for me to get back with a can of petrol. It was July and midday. I had to walk a kilometre to the nearest petrol station which was closed from12 to 2. I am still reminded of how they nearly died of heat exhaustion waiting for me to get back. No mobile phones so they had no idea what was going on
Maybe you can understand why I am now so paranoid about running out of fuel since!

Ha! I hope you got an ice cream !
Your post was an absolute classic of the genre, Clampy
I am something of an antique dealer. To be fair, it’s the silly old duffers getting on the bus and trying to have a bit of a laugh with the driver about it all that’s holding us up.
Plus it’s the weekend so it’s all amateur bus passengers; the “you first” mob holding us all up , just get on you old ******** and stop trying to charm the old ladies. People paying with notes, no tickets on their phones, tramping about in shoes they can’t walk in. They are the real problem here, All Johnson has done is boot out loads of lorry drivers
Anyway, I apologise for my scorn. It took an hour to get home after a 15 hour night shift and now I’m trying to get into work for another 15 hour shift with 4 hours broken sleep. It wears on one’s nerves darling. Nevertheless, we are fairly rocketing along now and some right sawts just got on so the only way is up baby!
Next stop… the sunlit uplands
I’ve had mates and many colleagues over the decades who lived in Worthing or Lancing, working in Brighton or Hove.
Every few weeks it seemed, another traffic disaster. Countless accidents on the A27, their getting home time of normally 6pm ….. 8 or later.
Traffic piling through Storrington, Botolphs, the Norfolk Bridge, past the Swiss Cottage pub, Shoreham High Street.
Rinse and repeat every few weeks.
Each cueing up huge
’s in the Argus comments section about the standard of driving in the UK.Why do Brightonians endure that regular hell, personally I wouldn’t …. “Because you get so much more for your money in Worthing and Lancing”.

Good luck with the rest of your journey, mate. Sounds like you need a well earned break at some point
Seagulls Travel have changed the bus route Monday now…….no BH or HH stop…….

To be fair, I am always heading away from traffic with my shift times. In the morning I can be home in 20 mins-25 mins. Today it took an hour and ten. Ive been innit for an hour on my into work now.
And while I absolutely agree there is often issues along the Brighton road, I am on it twice a day, early every day for six years now and it has never been as bad as today.
Still wouldn’t move back into Brighton though.

Shut up man. I haven't got time to read 41 pages. So just posted what I thought. As for trolling, is that your default setting you go to when someone posts something you don't agree with?

The problem is that there is only the two roads crossing at the Adur, the flyover and the Norfolk bridge, all traffic East and West has to bottleneck there and if one or the other is closed it leads to utter chaos. Sadly, nothing will change as there are no viable alternatives.
Good luck with the rest of your journey mate. Sounds like you need a well earned break at some point
Cheers! Have a peaceful night.

Shoreham’s always vulnerable to bedlam. Last year the chaos outside McDonalds in the pre and post lockdown Mc feasting. Buses, genuinely, had to be rerouted from the A259.
