They were encouraged to fill up by the Prime Minister and a senior minister. The suggestion being that people had a responsibility to take pre-emptive action, which they did.

i'm not defending what they said and the government is sinking into a shambles but the behaviour in recent memory from the UK public is bordering on cretinous.

Standard. I'm reminded of Alexei Sayle's appearance on Room 101. His choice to put in the room - 'the general public'.

The petrol stations round here had sold out 24 hrs before anyone from Gov had commented on (or issued advice on) possible strike

Morrisons at Doxford has no real ques, no worse than the normal Friday 4pm. Tesco at the Board inn, they are queuing onto the A690, idiots.

I am partially guilty like.
The car needed juice and I did put more in than normal.
Suppose the "strike" was in my mind but I justified by saying I will use it all anyway.
No queue like when I went on Wednesday night

sainsburys at durham had a delivery today.

queues no worse than normal for a friday/saturday shoppers.

i didnt queue. i went to the Total garage next to the Red Lion at Plawsworth on the A167.

every pump was being used but pretty much straight in and out. had an empty tank and filled up, as did the 3 in front of me at the till (all over £50's worth)

There would be no queues at morrisons of people weren't so lazy and used pumps on the opposite side to where their fuel cap is. I just went to the empty spaces past everyone queuing
