Fuel Crisis

A long line of vehicles queue for fuel on High Street Arnold , at the ASDA petrol station.

The queue tailed all the way back to Sainsbury's, who incidentally had no fuel at their petrol station.

My vehicle tells me I have 100 miles of fuel in my tank, so will not panic buy, although I hope to get some by the weekend to enable me to get to watch Bolton Wanderers

The reasons for this crisis are complex, but if truth be told (and this government aren't very good at at that), then Brexit and Covid probably top the list of the complex reasons.

Oh blimey. We inadvertently got stuck in a petrol queue the other day. Hope it settles down soon.

We’ve been hearing about your challenges even over here. Hope they manage some solutions soon. You’ve certainly captured the moment in this image.

Oh boy! I remember gas shortages and they aren't a good thing. Hope it gets solved quickly!

[Judith Johnson]

I absolutely agree with you Phil. 100 percent. A good diary shot. I hope you get to the match!

We only have to get a whiff of a shortage of anything & panic buying is the result….all ok last week then no fuel as soon as it’s mentioned. I have 60 miles on my clock but enough to get by until it’s back to normal in a few days. Good to see your queue! I haven’t seen one yet!
