[News] There's no need to panic buy petrol

Any of your who seriously went out to get fuel when you probably didn't need to, filling you car then your wife's car up etc give your heads a wobble. Selfishness of the highest order.

Some people, you know, those who rely on fuel for getting to work to save lives or to make a living, are now stuffed because of your selfishness.

Makes my blood boil.

Ironically my dad's carer can't get to him today for exactly this reason. Fortunately I can get up to help him today, but what will happen tomorrow?

I'm not even going to bother. I've got enough diesel in the van to get me to wednesday I think with my daily commute.

I'm hoping the 'Panic Fillers' have had their fun by then and I'll be able to put £20 in as usual.

Trouble is those panic buyers will be panic buying again by Wednesday.

So after 20 days off isolating, I now cant fill the van up which is going to impact work further. Absolute selfish tosspots, I even know people that panic bought fuel, really I'm sick of our species. There's very few actual intelligent people around, the rest of us might as well still be ****ing monkeys!

Just been past Sainsburys West Hove and the queues are frankly stupid. Utter idiots.

As my dear old granny used to say, these people will never change as long as they've got holes in their arses.

You can't fix stupid

Arguments and fighting at the petrol station, Burgess Hill Tesco's from what I have seen.

Any petrol stations open ???
Yes. The M&S BP garage at East Preston/Rustington had unleaded ( no diesel ) at 7am but the queues were starting to build.

I was driving past to try the Shell 24 hour one nearby but did a quick u-ee to join the queue at the BP.


Oh and the death trap queues on the A27 eastbound past Falmer were also building which suggests fuel.

Queueing was starting at the small Clayhill service station on the way east from Lewes. They had a yellow vested marshall but no idea what he was telling drivers.

Also queues at the Shell at the Maresfield A22/A26 roundabout.

:nono::nono::nono: WTF is wrong with people ? They should have someone managing the queues…..if you’ve got, say, more than half a tank then you get turned away.

I’m getting a bit low but got no long journeys that I can’t put off (just got to get to the Amex tomorrow now which I hadn’t planned but that’s ok) so going to wait. Really feel for anyone who genuinely needs fuel for work etc.

Still loads of posts on this thread from people in petrol queues slating people in petrol queues. Seems everyone posting has a more important reason to be there than their fellow queuers. Complete lack of self awareness.

Much the same as those of us bemoaning being stuck in traffic.
Oblivious to the fact we are traffic.



Self awareness and us motorists doesn't go hand in hand.

I noticed that. It is always the 'panic buying' winkers that are stopping ME ( not panic buying, no sireee ) buying my fuel.

Lol.

Perhaps they also have equally good reasons ? They are not sitting in queues for fun.

Funny that! I need some petrol for my scooters If I want to ride them to work, but I don't NEED petrol to get to work as there's 3 maybe 4 days worth in the car. Hopefully it will have blown over by then.

The Jet garage in Findon seemed to be quite sensible yesterday. Not sure about now.
Is this the garage on the bottom end of the A24 or in Findon itself. I will try and get some fuel tomorrow morning on the A24 4am-ish going to work. My last resort could be the one at Hillbarn crossroads.

Had to laugh this morning. Went for a run along the seafront and there was a huge queue both ways for the BP / M&S garage on Kingsway in Hove at 8.15. And what was this queue holding up? An M&S delivery lorry :lolol:

On my return an hour later it had moved about 100 yards.

Bloody SHEEP.

Similar in Shoreham, did my 5 k high speed stagger, nothing at Shell, bled dry, and a queue along the hight St holding everything up to get into the stn by the footbridge.
