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 .

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
