I drove my husband to hospital on Saturday - while he was having a heart attack - and we had to wait to pass by the queue of traffic. It was stressful but I didn't think people were selfish. You don't know the reasons why people need that petrol and I "selfishly" queued there on Tuesday morning so I had fuel in the car to bring my husband back home from hospital.

We managed to get petrol this morning at Morrisons. As mentioned above, the staff were fair and organised and a chap who attempted to queue jump and refused to budge only moved and joined the end of the queue, when they told him he would be refused petrol at the pumps.


Anyhow we were there around about an hour. We did try the two garages by Goose Green before heading to Morrisons and both had "no petrol" signs up.


Good luck - I keep thinking of the original Mad Max film.

It does seem to be the case that getting there early helps. I got to the BP in Forest Hill (thanks Dave for the tip) by just after 8 and it took about 15 mins but by the time I left it had got a lot more chaotic and the queue was much longer. The Shell at the top of Sydenham Hill on the way to Crystal Palace was also open this morning.
Morrisons peckham Tesco and asda old Kent road all have petrol no ques.. wife filling up in morrisons.. work colleague asda myself in Tesco's in and out within 4 minutes... petrol station east dulwich road very busy long ques no limits at morrisons or Tesco not sure about asda

I'm loving the viral videos going around of Americans when they had a "gas" crisis


The one with the lady filling plastic bags then putting them in her boot is only surpassed by the guy filling a tarpaulin in the back of his pickup for stupidity.


Thank the stars that we are more sensible and only create a crisis by panicking over a minor initial disruption at a few petrol stations 🤔


If everyone stopped panicking and filled up only when they needed to (like normal) this thread wouldn't even exist 😃

Good news, if everyone just buys normally there won't be a shortage. Nothing changed with distribution or supply from this time last week.


Just the panic buying...

Yep - before the "panic" there was much less fuel than normal in petrol stations.

BP told the Govt 2x weeks ago situation "is bad, very bad"

Govt did nothing then it leaked out and people unsurprisingly bought fuel while they could...

Interestingly people blame the media but when I filled up before the news came out last week, a woman opposite me was already panic buying because someone had warned her.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
