Reply to: BP - We Have To Close Petrol Stations...

[SueEllen]

Passed a petrol station today in London that had fuel.

I knew it had because there was a long queue on the approach.

I found out about the petrol conspiracy yesterday.
Apparently the government created the fuel shortage as they had a surplus of E5 fuel that they need to get rid of to make way for E10 . So they created a panic.

If your theory is correct (and let's face it, we both know it's bollocks) the panicking was being done by all those whose cars won't run on E10. Which is every British-made car, particularly the electric ones...

Nope. Wrong.

I went and got my E10 last night from Asda, no queue. Limited to £30. No problem I make that last a month or more.

Up the road there was a large queue for Esso.

How much was remaining in your tank before you added £30 worth?

Diesel had run out first and there is more shortage of Diesel than petrol. However, Heathrow is supplied by a pipeline therefor, I have taped two cardboard wings on the car so I can refuel with JetA1.

Back to petrol stations, was nightmare coming back from Karaoke on Tuesday due to long line of cars blocking road. Was a duel carriageway but some idiot was way over the line blocking both.

God, I thought the Mail Online was a bit down market. But the Metro is Chav City!

It's gone downhill a lot since they took the cartoons out.

Which is why I like posting "news" from it.

The metro was always perfect for that 30 minute train commute. Bubblegum 'news' whilst trying to wake up!

The Metro is hilarious. I helps that it doesn't take itself seriously, whereas the Fail thinks it's a real newspaper.

The fail knows exactly what it is.

Metro does the most rude stories too.
