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.

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.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?

      They are people.  That's how people often behave.
