In the news

there's no queue at the charging point last time i checked.

Only pedestrians queuing to get past the charging points mounted on the already narrow pavements.

You can always take the train.

Riding a proper mountain bike for long distances on the road is no fun, Ed.

lol.

ok, ace.

Yup, I queued for 4 hours this morning to walk around a lamp post

No queues at my local BP- because it’s run out of petrol

Ditto the local Esso here.

Or they just closed it to stop running out.

I wouldn't even call it panic buying - it doesn't take much in terms of short-term demand increase to give the appearance of scarcity.

Road bike this week?

I reckon I’ll be ok with the fuel in the tank that I have, and we’ll have 100,000 new short term visa HGV drivers starting on Monday so it will all be fine.

closed it to stop running out.

Why would they do that? Wouldn't they want to sell it rather than store it?

Store it for a week and sell at double the price 👍

Wasn’t too bad to Swinley!

But won't everywhere still have petrol? I'm sure I read that only about 5 across the whole country closed, and now everyone's gone batshit mental. I suppose that is what's causing the shortage.

My neighbour came home grinning like a Cheshire cat, whilst I was putting my roof bars on and he proudly boasted that he'd filled up both his cars to the brim. I asked where he was going, "nowhere" was the answer.... ☹️

That might have been true at some point early this morning. Certainly not true now.

Been past three in South East London in the last hour or so and each were out of fuel and closed.

Genuinely enjoyed this article as someone who used to study sociology

How's the hairdressing job going?

All pasta except the bronze die stuff disappeared from the Lidl

Wut?

How’s the bog roll situation?

TP is AOK. Buffalo mozzarella supplies also stable.

There were two near me in Kent yesterday afternoon and think there were others as well

Lol this is so dumb. Have a big drive tomorrow (also not a daily driver) and it's for mine and my gfs first date in months. Don't want to contribute to queuing and be a panicker but don't want to risk waiting til tomorrow?

Welll..... In this instance it's hard to argue to that there aren't advantages.

Because there are no supply chain problems with an industry massively dependent on Lithium, Cobalt and rare earths.

High-tech car manufacturing has even more Brexit-confounded supply chain problems than the conventional car industry.

#wn4lyf - gridlock around crown point as people queue for the petrol. Same down in West norwood. This will all seem ridiculous in 2 days. Get a grip people.

So, how hard are custody battles when nobody can pronounce the name of your "Requires Unicode"-named child?
