Fuel Protest on Wednesday 14 September

[KBear]

There are rumblings that there is going to be another fuel protest - DH works at a tanker terminal and word is that there might be blockades of petrol stations again. If you rely on your car, fill the tank this weekend just in case!

Thanks for that kbear

bumping for the evening crowd! Fill her up!

I could only afford to put £20 in!! But should last a bit.

I heard this on news. I need to go and get pretrol. Last time I ended up missing 2 days of work And there is no way I am risking getting stranded with no petrol at the prison this time round.

Bump - don't know if this is going ahead but forewarned is forearmed (or whatever the saying is!!)

I'm off to my local Tescos to clear the shelves of bread and milk to see if I can trigger a frenzy of panic buying!

LOL!

I hope theres not massive petrol ques today!!!

i think EVERYONE i know is planning on filling up today

Has it been on the news them? I only know because the tanker drivers where DH works have been telling him something's going on. Luckily enough I don't rely on a car I get the train BUT the traindrivers probably rely on cars to get them to work!

Oh no, I won't be able to get home if they do this.

Tis defently (sp?) happening here the lady who works in local garage was talking to a business man in front of me on friday asking if he's prepared for when the strike happens this week!!

So happy just left my old job all I did was drive 100's of miles a week and start working as a local security guard wednesday which I can walk to if need be Phewwww!

There have been big queues at some garages here. It will be panic buying in Tesco next.

Ohh quick lets all fill up our cars and clear the shelves of bread and milk.

nooo i actually need bread and milk today save me a loaf an da pint of semi!!!

our petrols actualy dropped the 2 p it went up by last week. (thankfully I did't fill the car up) two loaves in the freezer (only just took one out last night, 6 pt milk out as well last night so should be OK) - will top the car up again thou and buy anothermilk I think just to make sure. not bloody gettin caught out again.

Don't get paid until Thursday, will do it then if I can.

We had a near empty tank yesterday, and so had to fill up and it was 94.9 for unleaded in north west london

No queues either so not everyone had heard of it.

It's been on the news and in the local paper - the main organiser lives near here. I think the fact that they've named the day and time - Wednesday at 6.00am neans there will be contigency plans set up by the police and government. Also read that he doesn't have the same levels of support that he had 5 years ago.

DH just popped to Asda and said the queues were a bit longer than usual at the petrol pumps. He's going to pop over later and put some more in.

we don't get local newspapers where we live and we don't buy nationals so we get news from TV or radio. Or from you guys

Was surprized the price had come down

We were paying 89/90p when we were holiday in August - kept that price rise quiet. Blaming on Katrina apparently????

oh goody ilike a little revolutionary activiy from time to time

There are big queues at our petrol stations today I have half a tank of petrol in my car, and half a tank in DH's car - so enough to get me to work and back this week.

ENOURMOUSE ques outside my local tesco too (where petrol is aboot 5p / 6p per liter cheeper than other local garages... no ques at those garages tho)

KBear, don't you feel like saying "I told you so"?

bloody panic buying....huge queue of cars at local supermarket.
