I’ve just been out for a ride at lunchtime and every single petrol station I passed had long queues, blocking the roads. Crazy.

I've just been past 2 petrol stations both with 20 + cars queuing to get in (Kidbrooke area).
The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, vowed to “move heaven and earth” to solve the nationwide shortage of truck drivers. Asked about the Petrol Retailers Association warning drivers to keep a quarter of a tank of fuel in their car in case forecourts ran out, he downplayed the issue and said motorists should “carry on as normal” and not panic-buy.

I need to drive 250 miles today and only have enough petrol for about a quarter of that. I'm seeing some queueing in my future.
