I think it is, at the moment, restricted to the south east, when the tankers start working again after the protesters are cleared i am sure things will get back to normal

Arrogant drivers here blocked the Freedom Bridge roundabout yesterday to gridlock waiting on the road and across the road to queue, too bad I wasn't in my 44 tonner :mad:

Henry Gibson was a much funnier man in the Laugh in, but coincidentally, playing a German Soldier back then! :)

If you have an SUV beware;

Environmental activists claim to have 'disarmed' nearly 2,000 SUVs in one month​


Just another sad bunch of demented loonies, under the misguided notion they are putting the world to rights by their actions

Hopefully they'll be caught and we can use all their hot air for heating to reduce our carbon footprint.

Well just sold the wife's 3 cylinder 1.2l SUV which had such a low carbon footprint it only cost £30 a year to tax!

I guess that would be on their target list with their Amobea size intellect.

They will leave my gas guzzling V8 twin turbo 4.7l SL alone though

Looks like it's heading north.
No diesel in Northampton or Daventry today apparently - certainly none in Daventry on a quick drive past in the V8

Could do with finding where they live and protesting about them causing pollution, obstruction, criminal damage, being hypocrites, and just about any other thing I could think of.

I could park some big crowd-funded four-wheel drive dustbin outsides their drives let the tyres down and chant inane tosh.

Then there's my list of gender, sexuality acknowledgments and legal rights I would need to run through with the Police Liason Officer.

Or maybe I could tunnel under their houses?

Glue myself to their front door?

Think I might enjoy it, well some of it.

So you will start the "Extinction Rebellion Rebellion"?

I would happily donate to an Extinction Rebellion Extinction fund !

well, just as i thought it was getting better, it got worse again. I work on Romney Marsh, Kent. there is one garage in Ashford that has diesel, and one in Folkestone. Some have petrol, others are just run out.
My local garage in Peasmarsh has closed due to no fuel.

Tesco Park Farm Ashford yesterday afternoon, no fuel. Didn't go looking as I still have just over 1/4 tank in the S204, but will be keeping an eye when we're out Sunday as next Friday we're off to Silverstone for a weekend BSB racing.

I fought my way through Ashford (Middlesex) to Tesco from Sunbury last night for diesel to find them run out. Went to the Shell in Staines close to home, no traffic one car at the pumps. Price was annoyingly a few pence more than the Ottershaw Shell near work!
I have been running V-Power diesel, at 192p/ltr they can go swivel.

I used to use that Shell station in Ottershaw quite often :) used to be quite reasonable (for the area…)

There's only one at the moment.

Edit: One morning, I went into the now gone Ottershaw Shell just as the last fuel availability problems started for £20 of V-Power in a customers car. All the V-Power pumps were closed and the attendant was on the forecourt doing readings, asked what I wanted and let me use a pump. By lunchtime the area was gridlocked and it dawned on me that one of their best customers builds Supercars locally and my have had influence over the V-Power availability.
