Some friends were messaging us at 9.45pm last night while stuck in a queue to get petrol. Last message was just past 11om and they were still in it.
Idk if they got any petrol in the end. Assuming they made it back home in the end.
Edit: just to be clear it was a couple with the passenger doing the texting.

We got petrol last night, some research on Google maps to see which ones were "busier than normal" and had petrol, and which ones were "quieter than normal" and had sold out. Then waited 2 hours for the traffic to die down and for straight in at one. Wallet now £65 lighter. I've never had the tank that low before!

Birchanger services was the only petrol station of the 20+ I visited with any fuel. It also had a queue so long that I doubt I would've made it home if they'd run out before I refilled. In fact, I'm not sure I had enough fuel to survive the queue.
I'm just going to Not Drive until this whole shitstorm is over. The Audi's saying it's got 5 miles' worth of fuel left, and that doesn't leave a lot spare for queueing with all the other fuckwits. Happily Sunday's CX race is only 15 miles away, so I can ride there and back. Hopefully.

Well, that was a fun drive home from London's famous London. 4 sets of roadworks on the M11, including 2 sections down to one lane, the A11 was closed completely and I had to do the whole journey at 50mph to eke out the vapour in the tank due to fuckwits panic buying petrol throughout the South East and East Anglia. FML but this country is a mess.
