    Re: Petrol pump queues

    Just been out to fuel up for work today, still queues at 2 local petrol stations and Tesco in Talbot Green has no fuel until later this morning. Just when you think this country can't get any more embarrassing........

    At 7:00am, I wandered over to Morrisons in Llanishen to get my racing paper and do a bit of shopping. The queue for the petrol station already stretched as far as Ty Glas Road. Incredible. We live in a nation full of morons, but in fairness that’s hardly news.

    Plenty of greedy bastards. The Petrol station should limit the amount people can buy.

    Too add a little bit of balance, there are those who just want to throw £20 in the tin, for the shopping, school run etc.

    No problem. It's OK to be gender fluid these days.

    Re: Petrol pump queues

    It's the knock on effects that do my head in! Took me ages to get the dentist yesterday afternoon because traffic was at a standstill around Morrisons in Llanishen.

    I only get petrol when my refill light comes on - and it came on yesterday. Can't be arsed joining those queues. I'll just stay local and use my legs for the weekend - god knows I could do with the extra exercise!

    Re: Petrol pump queues

    We went this morning as we actually needed petrol to get to a wedding later and the queue was massive blocking the road. Only when we got closer we realised it was because everyone wanted to use the pay at the pump and the two other lanes at the petrol station were pay in the shop and empty. Flew through in seconds then.
    I think this pandemic has shown we have a lot of stupid people in the UK.

    If i was a petrol station owner I would have put an extra 50 pence on the litre, people would have still bought it

    That is totally the wrong way to do it. They should do the opposite. People are topping up their tanks buying 5 and 10 pounds of petrol squeezing it in.
    they should say anyone going to a fuelling station must pay a minimum of £30 whatever fuel they put in their cars, so if the only have 10 litres they still have to pay £30. That will cut the queues by about 65% immediately.

    Re: Petrol pump queues

    I drove to Tesco in Western Avenue about mid day. The forecourt was full being marshalled by Tesco folks but the girl told me that a tanker had just unloaded there so there was no problem. I was filled up and gone in about 10 minutes or so .I'm driving back and forth to Weston every day so I need a full tank for a week.
