Petrol stations

[tedfudge]

The petrol station at roundabout near goose green has run out of unleaded fuel tried to get some earlier as my fuel light is on... also the petrol station along east dulwich grove really long ques ...

Wife went asda old Kent road shopping no one using petrol station there so she filled up no problem when she came out with shopping petrol forecourt was full and que all the way back to entrance from old Kent road.. people need to stop going crazy.... if theres a shortage of hgvs drivers they should use the army like they did when the fuel truck drivers went on strike a few years ago that would help

[Spartacus]

This "panic" is all over at the moment, it's causing chaos on the roads as people queue to get petrol (with some stations now at 147 a lt and others at 135 no profiteering there then)

Sheer madness, apparently we're all doomed Captain Mainwaring. Thank the stars we didn't go through this sort of petrol shortage in the 70s when social media (or Chinese whispers to give it the correct name) was first introduced ... we would have all struggled to do anything ..... 🤔

Should not effect Lordship lane, ED or Dulwich residents as they all walk or use their cycles to save the planet.

Look forward to reading the comments when tradesmen cannot come to their house

[tedfudge]

Media is not helping by announcing shortages as you said Spartacus as soon as the news stations and papers announce it everyone goes crazy and starts buying it which then causes panic buying.. not sure I'm going to be able to work tonight as I have very very little fuel and no where to put fuel in..

[George Orwell]

It'll all be over by this time next week when they've all filled their tanks and won't have used it much. I reckon most locals only need a fill up every couple of weeks at most.

Or, order a new electric car and it'll probably get delivered around the time the UK has electricity power cuts in the winter.

Idiots like this taken this morning by a friend in the queue

Should not be allowed

[teetomthomas]

?

[Adidas_guy]

Unless that person has a very valid reason for doing that, they are otherwise being extremely selfish and inconsiderate.

The pic reminds me of a woman I saw in a supermarket car park at the height of the pandemic. She had bought so many packs of toilet tissue, she struggled to close her car door?

[Spartacus]

Maybe, the very people who bought all the toilet rolls are now finding creative uses for them as wicks in Molotov cocktails... it's the only excuse I can see for panic buying ..

Roll in the revolution brothers and sisters 😱

Queue all along from the roundabout this morning nearly to ED station with people parked over the crossing, bus lane full and some horn blowing and effing and blinding

I don't know why you idiots on this site continue to use the term idiots about people you don't agree with. Similarly some of the idiots on my WhatsApp group also resort to calling others idiots. I'm stressing the point.

Some of the idiots who are blocking our roads actually have a genuine and urgent need for fuel and may be following their normal purchasing patterns. Others, who aren't idiots can be smug and simply wait until the situation sorts itself out.

The other group of idiots are those that don't need to rush out, and are causing the short term shortage (which we have seen before).

So you get one group of idiots who genuinely need fuel, but the other sort of idiots who are better described as selfish or simply unaware, who are making it difficult for the first group of idiots, exacerbating the problem, made worse by the idiots in the media. And then the smug people like me can just write about it.

Finally there are the idiots in government, and whatever idiot they use be it government, industry, consumer organisations, Floella Benjamin; however measured the message is the selfish idiots will rush out and panic buy.

I think the lesson here is please don't rush to label people idiots. Rational debate please or alternatively a bit of humour.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

This is almost as bad as the great olive oil shortage of 2012. Anyone who was in Dulwich at that time will remember the scenes of devastation and panic

[beansprout]

Big Sainsbury in South End Lane is closed for petrol.

[tash b]

Refering to my pic above I will call them idiots and the ones blocking the roads making it diffcult for emergency services lets hope its not you that needs them for a loved one.

[tedfudge]

Malumbu...

A lot of the people buying their fuel over last 2 days are idiots and selfish..

I cannot go to work tonight or maybe even sunday night not sure about Monday or Tuesday night yet as have no fuel to get to work or do my deliveries and I'm not the only one there was another 3 co workers in same situation last night at my work place also the guys that deliver to us was saying they may not be able to get to work to deliver to us as they have no fuel..... like sallybulliyng said above people who need the fuel to do their jobs ( plumbers .. delivery drivers ... taxi drivers .... doctors ... nurses... firefighters.... police officers etc ) cannot get to work ..

Paramedic has posted on Twitter her ambulance is about to run out of fuel as everywhere closed.. also most not all of the people rushing out to panic buy probably only use their vehicle once a week to go buy their shopping...

[tedfudge]

I'm with you tash b..

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

Grove Vale bus lane southbound currently blocked by cars queueing to get into petrol station. Occasional donkey trying to jump the queue by turning from the northbound lane (and therefore blocking the non-bus lane southbound) ain't helping either.
