    Passed a petrol station today in London that had fuel.

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

    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...

    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.

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

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