hauxwell Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It certainly does look as though the petrol stations are getting busy. Things are getting desperate when people start to fill wheelie bins up with petrol without paying for it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10601869/Thief-fills-wheelie-bin-fuel-busy-petrol-station-forecourt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thieving sods drill into your petrol tank from under the car. It drains into a container and they are away. I expect this crime to increase quite a bit In the coming months.

Apart from pinching your petrol there will also be damage to your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm retired so I can hunker down but I do feel sorry for folks who need their vehicles for work. I can't, however, understand the 'panic buying and hoarding mentality' which only makes the situation worse for everyone. No mains gas, so I heat by oil which has risen from 52p/litre in January to £1.14 now. At that price I'll give it a miss and wait until things calm down a bit which it will do as other countries outside Russia increase their production. I'll not be held hostage to Mad Vlad's war mongering actions. As rogets says we need to make sacrifices -( cut the holidays down, what's a holiday? It's so long ago, I can't remember! ) so instead I'll head for the forest, chop wood for the hearth and keep fit whilst singing that famous Monty Python ditty 'I'm a lumberjack.' echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
