funny part is that you have to give 7 days notice for a strike so everyone is going to keep topping up for the next week at least and possibly even longer. fuel duty income over the next couple weeks is going to be sky high seeings as petrol sales are 80% up over the last few days.

cycled to work today for the first time in 20+ years, it was great (apart from getting out of bed at 06.00am), roads were quiet, pleasant cool morning, tail wind, about 8 miles with my girly pump bag on my back, not sure but took less than 30mins and I clocked in at 07.26. Bloody headwind home.

i need fuel tomorrow as i only have 20 miles left in the tank and i do 15 to work, so i could end up on the side of the road with no fuel if all these idiots keep filling their tanks, just watched the news and they interviewed 2 old couples saying the queues are stupid... erm your the stupid f****ers that do 5miles a week but are filling up your tanks!

No jerry cans to be filled
Check your fuel guage, if the light isn't on your not getting any fuel
Sounds like a good idea to me
