Don’t worry about it, when they bring the untrained Europeans over there won’t be as many petrol stations anyway, I’m sure they will blow a few up, OK boss

Rubbish here. South London Bexley. I'm a driving instructor
Pass petrol garages round here all day. Most empty or a big queue. Got some last Wednesday at 3am.

Hopefully not so difficult tonight.

Filled up and drove from Kent to Warwick stopped at services by Warwick and put £20 no queues. Spent 6 days holiday with Mrs and then drove back and just put £21 in. No queues at Warwick and no queue down here. Spoke to the the staff at both and Warwick said no problem with fuel and in Kent it has slowed down considerably. Not a panic buyer but always keep car over 3/4 full!

Travelling on motorways there and back and set cruise control at 70 both ways and was almost constantly at this speed passing loads of cars doing less than this and very few passed me. It was almost like a different driving experience, almost enjoyable this won't last long!

I thought I was imagining it when I went on the M20 yesterday, people doing 60-70. Normally it doesn't matter how fast you go there's always someone else that wants to go faster.

Anyone also noticed how slow people are driving now too? Around our way used to be a race circuit but now it’s full of ‘Sunday drivers’. I find it quite nice as life needs to slow down a little.

Cobham and clacket lane had no fuel today. More garages in London had fuel and reasonable queues.

Not sure where you are mate, but I got a full tank of diesel at Cobham services between junctions 9-10
on the M25 yesterday. No restrictions, only queued for five mins and that’s Shell. Access from both sides of M25.

Ten garages around SE London I tried first were all empty.

My mate went do Devon over the weekend as his aunt has a hotel there and he said that there were no issues with fuel other than they were limiting how much you could take. I think you will be fine but you may have to visit a few different stations to fill up and get home 👍

Two thirds of all constituencies voted leave. I don't think Farage held sway over two thirds of the country do you?

Your petrol station is talking sense, it will never catch on here in Kent.
