Are things ok now, or have 'the MSM' 
been told not to report trouble?
I want to visit the UK soon, but, when leaving, driving round in a hire car near Gatwick looking to fill up with a flight to catch wouldn't be much fun with queues everywhere.
What's the situation?

I live twenty minutes from gatwick. Pease pottage services have nearly had fuel the whole time, I haven't struggled to get fuel, just have to allow an hour.
There's a Facebook page called fuel- West Sussex where people are posting updates as to which stations have fuel.
It should all even itself out soon enough.

Great news, thanks.
I'm surprised it's gone on so long, surely once the folk who used to drive around with a quarter of a tank have filled up and are now going round 3/4 full, the weekly consumption is the same, no?

Exactly Jon. So the longer it goes on the harder it is to
Once again blame the public. Must be another failure of Govt.

It's been amusing listening to the goons blaming 'the media' for the shortages and panic buying...
I must have missed those news reports that said 'quick! Go and be a selfish ***** and buy all the petrol you can while key workers are at work' ...

Everywhere I've come across has imposed a £30 limit on fuel, all it is doing is making it seem like a rationing of fuel and also allowing people to keep topping up their tanks. More people on the forecourts again adds fuel to the fire of panic buying.
Every forecourt has an attendant guiding traffic to pumps so they need to either insist on checking the fuel gauge or imposing a minimum of £40/50 to refuel, it will stop all the idiots who only do school and shop runs constantly filling their tanks. Whilst peoples tanks are being run down before they can fill up again, it'll allow the tankers to catch up and get more stations refuelled. At the moment, as soon as somewhere has fuel delivered, everyone flocks there and it's empty within a few hours!

Be sure to avoid south, east and north London as well as Essex. The ****s outnumber the litres of fuel and available road surface. Ideal if you want a fist fight or a dent in your bodywork

I drove from tower bridge road right back to West Sussex before finding a station with fuel yesterday, it was carnage on the way to work, took me three and a half hours because of idiots gridlocking roads anywhere near a forecourt with fuel.

Don't say that Jon, I have to try and fill up tomorrow, otherwise I will not be going angling next week. I was alright last week so have not needed to go near a garage. I need to now though. I was hoping it would be over by now.

No different to most things in life, selfish ****s and panic buying go had in hand
Was at a petrol station the other day, **** in front of me filled his car up and two massive green army type gerry cans, what a ****er ✊💦💦
And as for local stations banging 10p a litre on, stop using them, the greedy ****s, one near me I have not used it for years for that reason

I'm hoping a spark sets the stockpiled bog rolls up in flames and blows the stockpiled petrol up
So many ****s topping the tank up with a few litres and filling gerry cans up
All my local supermarkets have forecourts, gotta sit in the fuel queue for an hour to get to the car park

Sounds a real pain.
Does knowing that it's what 52% voted for make it easier to accept?

Wasn't aware of any vote this, think you must have some odd dreams.
