Yup, I've sent my missus off to her weekend with friends in my little diesel van with a full tank and taken her little petrol car with half a tank to the yard. Didn't want her running out, she'd not be likely to be able to get more.

 

She was so grateful. What she doesn't know is that I'm going to be draining her car for the saws 🤣

If you phone your Stihl dealer they will be able to get motomix delivered to your workplace or home.
Might even be the same price soon🤣🤣🤣[emoji106]

I reckon the 'fuel crisis' is there to distract us from the 'food crisis'.

Like I say bud a period of rationing might be better for the NHS than an overpriced vaccination drive.

Petrol giant Essar on brink of collapse

One of Britain’s biggest oil refineries is teetering on the brink of collapse, piling further...

I think it’s about time the post Thatcherism full on free market thing needs a tweak. Yeah I’m conservative in my outlook and believe you should if possible stand on your own two feet etc,  but have always been of the opinion that services and industries essential to a nations basic survival should be state owned. Andys analogy regards the sticking plaster being pulled off post brexit I think is not far off the mark.

Needs a tweak? In my outlook I'm a socialist, it doesn't mean I think people should be able sponge off the rest of us. The Conservatives, in my lifetime have never wanted essential industries state owned. Water, gas, electricity, not to mention housing all flogged off to the highest bidder.
