I don't use them myself but am frequently a passenger and find that the after-care is less good than it used to be. Some cars are dirty, others without charge and others don't close and open as they ought. It lets down a really good service but I agree that on the whole, Zipcar (electric) cars are worth signing up for.
AylwardS - it was extensively reported that only 1 percent of garages had reported shortages (last Friday) so please do not say this was not the case. I agree that stupid, selfish people are to blame but when news actually states in online, radio and TV pieces - quoting official sources - that a tiny percentage of petrol stations were short of fuel and that the big suppliers had plenty of fuel please do not say it is not true.
Does anyone know of the nearest petrol station which has petrol - this morning? My tank is on empty and I've been out on Sunday and Monday looking for petrol, to no avail and can't risk driving around in the hope of finding some. My husband is in hospital and will be coming out at the end of the week and I want to bring him home in the car. Thanks

I've got five litres of petrol contaminated with diesel. I wont even use it for a mower (which in any case needs decent fuel) so use it occasionally to get a bonfire going, not that I do many of those nowadays. I'm tempted to put it on the items to buy section.


Funny business this, in one way a useful community service, on the other hand can encourage unnecessary purchases.

Still blocking the road when I walked past at 4ish today. Selfish beyond belief to pull over knowing full well they're blocking the route for other cars, plus it's a busy bus route.

And here are some wonderful local specimens of humanity... let's hope they get caught.

    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
