Petrol Retailers Association reports better Nationwide availability but not London. I'd always go to the BBC for my news (heard it on Radio 4) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/58772169


I'd only queue if I was desperate but fortunately all my journeys at the moment can be done by public transport, bike or foot. Weather will be improving I'm pleased to say!


I've put down thoughts on government messaging on the Lounge - including what I feel is poor levels of information. This should have burned itself out by now - why not??

There are plenty of garages, just not enough storage to cope with a short term surge in demand/ short term supply issues.


The large reduction in filling stations is simply economic, you really need to be part of a supermarket or have mini mart attached, otherwise you cannot compete in a cut throat market, particularly when your land is worth far more for housing or even as a car wash.


I could say the same about timber merchants, having seen so many go in recent years.


On wider matters don't think that the PM was very reassuring today. I'll post more on the lounge

Esso on edr half of pumps working both fuels minimum purchase is ?30 maximum ?45 .I asked the fella inside about the money limits, he said its to deter people who are topping up their tanks is ?5 ?10 ?15 and making the queues longer for motorists who might need fuel more .I said put a sign up outside stating the limits so people know..you've got small notes on the pumps telling people.you can't see these from outside so motorist will still queue.could cause a problem for some .

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
