How long before fuel rationing?

[Bettercallsalli]

A lot of talk of possible fuel rationing here if this conflict continues.
Will Airlines be able to cope? It does seem inevitable now.

Don;t forget to grab your 10 packs of toilet rolls at the same time so we have a shortage of them too.

It is if there are fuel shortages and your going to see your family means a community nurse is grounded as there is no fuel!

Where are you?

that sounds great.

Nothing like a good scare mongering thread of an evening.

Cant .............stop.............the .....................twenty twenty flashback

Do I have to take up full on baking again?

That’s not an unusual amount for an Ag contractor to buy at this time of year!!

Having said that the price of red diesel is going bonkers. Hello food inflation my old friend

They will supply critical roles like thst separately.

Oh fucking hell it’s toilet paper-gate again.

Good lord. They do walk amongst us

Nah, they're driving.

She was not clever

I think the government are deliberately remaining tight lipped about any possible fuel shortages to stop people panic buying, because if everyone just continues to buy fuel as normal we could be ok for a while. Unfortunately there is the PRATS out there that go absolutely stupid storing fuel which then causes shortages. It was these same morans that caused a toilet roll shortage during COVID!

We must tell Henny Penny and Goosey Lucy also.

There was probably a queue cos our local tesco is the cheapest place for fuel locally.

Jesus fucking christ.

He didn't say that. He said he generally worries about our reliance on imported medication as it accounts for about 75%. He said there's been difficulties over the last 12-18 months with supply chain issues affecting some medication.
And he said they're establishing a task force to investigate opportunities to remove some of the risk as some medications could be depleted within a few days if there were supply chain disruptions.

Putting a highlight flammable liquid in open plastic bags, lined or not, in the boot of your car, is the very opposite of clever. In fact, I think it would get her a Darwin Award nomination at the very least. Anybody lights a cigarette near her car for the next 2 months and they might not live to tell the tale.

They absolutely need to prioritise school buses as a 4th emergency service. I haven't got it in me for homeschooling again.

It was ok when they were primary aged and I had Carol Vorderman's books, but we're now at GCSE and A level and I can't bullshit to this level.

It's about the impact on energy, as average prices are set to increase by £300 in July, and likely to suffer severe rises following that as we're very vulnerable to external factors.

It isn't about the availability of petrol.

Omg. There currently is no announcement of fuel shortages or rationing of petrol.

Who is seriously not going to drive in case of a theoretical fuel shortage in which a theoretical nurse needs it more? This is bonkers.

The minister repeating on R4 this morning about how average annual electric bills are due to fall by just over 100 in April and totally avoiding the point that they will go up by 300 in June. I hope the Government has a plan, does anyone think they have a plan and just aren't telling us to avoid panic buying?

There was an article in the Times about a week ago warning about jet fuel shortages if the war continues into April. Apparently long-haul flights will be the first to be cancelled.

Some people really miss the lockdowns
