    Instead of having these signs with "maximum purchase £20", they should go for "minimum purchase £20". That'd stop people putting in half a gallon just in case.

    Gahh it's crazy with all the twunts filling their tanks. Massive queues of over an hour at the few stations with petrol remaining. So instead of just getting what i need, I had to get enough to last till next week.

    Maybe you could setup up some kind of distillery by rotting down the pasties ?

    For example? Quick scan of the headlines on clientco's newstand seemed to be PANIC BUY NOW in huge letters followed by "drivers urged not to panic" in tiny ones at the end. Not much said about the strikers on a casual glance.

    Will not replace me mate , make no mistake. I am surprised they are being touted to drive lorries, I am surprised they are being allowed to do anything other than clean windows with their tongues.

    Under those circumstances, and given that you can't fit a cigarette paper between the pair for gross stupidity, it hardly matters.
