Fuel crisis

[denhamhoop]

Maybe the government will invoke key worker priority, I wonder if we will be counted as key workers like we were during the pandemic, I doubt it.

We did count during the Petrol Tanker Drivers Strike

Your all panicking, it will all over by the end of the week

Wonder if RM will stop folk taking vans home due to it?

I'm hoping so, presumably all the panic buyers have now got full tanks so they won't be going for any more for a few weeks.

Yep they can go back home and watch daytime tv until little Timmy needs picking up from the school 200 metres down the road. Whilst we WORKERS and unfurloughed try our best to keep this country on its feet so the rich and privileged can continue living their fancy pants lives while we all wear ourselves out for them.

Does anybody think it's a poor show for Royal Mail to penalize employees who can't get to work due to the fuel crisis?

Should've bought a Tesla.

I presume that people take vans home because there are issue around parking, security etc at individual offices , so they’re probably safer continuing with what they are doing.

Two guys in my office (that i know of) take their vans home everyday because they do overtime. They both live over 10 miles away from the office.
Its nothing to do with parking or security. Meanwhile people like me are driving our own cars to work and then having to pay £3 a day to park in the multi-storey.

Unless BoJob sends in the army first.

The Guardian (Sept. 26, 2021) ~ Boris Johnson to Consider Using Army to Supply Petrol Stations

Hundreds of soldiers could be scrambled to deliver fuel to petrol stations running dry across the country due to panic buying and a shortage of drivers under an emergency plan expected to be considered by Boris Johnson on Monday.

The prime minister will gather senior members of the cabinet to scrutinize “Operation Escalin” after BP admitted that a third of its petrol stations had run out of the main two grades of fuel, while the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA), which represents almost 5,500 independent outlets, said 50% to 90% of its members had reported running out. It predicted that the rest would soon follow.

In the meantime, let's get drunk and fuel around...

We were never key workers, only essential workers which means you’ll still have join the back of the queue and fight off the ne'er-do-well’s at the pumps!

I'd much rather non-key workers get off the roads entirely as in Spring 2020. Driving was a delight with roads looking like 28 Days Later and fuel was at less than a pound per litre. Those were the days
