There never was a crisis. Be interesting to see what has changed in the last week with a government minister saying supply has exceeded demand today. Assuming that no additional capacity to supply was created in the last week, then it can only mean that the increase came from excessive demand. Who created the demand? The moronic general public lapping up the scare stories from the media. The government should lay this last week solely at the feet of the media. Still like Mad Max around me searching for petrol, I did a quick circle again all 5 local stations closed, have given up will just come to Stone next weekend rather than this weekend, cant be arsed to queue up for hours or get up at 5 30am

Report in the Independent (2/10) showing a traffic light system for areas hit by a fuel crisis, we’re in the red.
Funny I’ve been out this morning and no queues at all from my observations.

Report in the Independent (2/10) showing a traffic light system for areas hit by a fuel crisis, we’re in the red. Funny I’ve been out this morning and no queues at all from my observations. I have formed view that The Independent is full of lies and distortions and misleading headlines. They are on an anti Brexit mission and see their role to counter balance the lies and distortions in the Mail and Express. They have moved away from the balanced journalism they had when they started, when I used to buy the paper regularly. They, along with other anti Brexit organs like the BBC, have whipped up the public into panic buying fuel, to turn a minor problem with BP distribution into a national crisis for some people. They are responsible for essential workers like care workers not able to get to work. I have posted examples before of them making a headline attacking Brexit, but when you read the text in the article, the headline is a complete distortion. Here is another example blaming a shortage on HGV driver shortage and ignoring a worldwide issue: www.independent.co.uk/business/diet-coke-shortage-aluminium-cans-b1913068.htmlOn Revelation TV this morning they announced that there was a delay in moving into their new studio in Spain because of a shortage of aluminium in Europe. The announcer was not wrong but not giving the full picture either; there is a worldwide shortage of aluminium. The reasons for an aluminium shortage is explained here: www.alumeco.com/news/2021/analysis-global-aluminium-shortageThere are shortages all over the planet as we come out of a global pandemic and demand surges, like gas in Europe and chips for cars worldwide. But the anti Brexit lobby are having a field day and are into their 6th year of predicting doom and gloom. Meanwhile we enjoy full employment and a growing economy with a million job vacancies, wages rapidly increasing in some sectors, etc. I must live in a bubble because I have yet to see an empty shelf in my town. I went to Tesco in Thirsk the week before last and it was full to bursting, last weeks Morrison's delivery was short on a few meat products, but I just popped round to the Coop to get what we needed.

Absolutely mate shocking journalism and borderline, well full of shit reporting, what troubles me is there’s people who take it it in. They should be held accountable for the stuff they publish and their editor held accountable. I was sent a link earlier from Melbourne and WOW WTF is going on there but little if anything reported in the U.K.

My wife works for Morrison’s and there’s been “no” food shortages whatsoever from what she’s told me, shelves fully stocked and deliveries as per usual, they’re stopping their home delivery services though in certain areas and will continue to do so. Fuel wise again deliveries as per usual but bat shit crazy morons gullibly believing what the media reported and well we’ve seen the results. It’s frightening that situations can be caused without consequences when proven to be truly a pack of lies. It’s the faceless media that are the true enemy and sickeningly they never get held accountable. Princess Dianna comes to mind.

It astounds me how the Independent, who were always the middle-class answer to tabloid journalism, has become absolute bottom of the barrel rubbish. Some of their headlines over the past few years have been worse than the nonsense printed in the Guardian or even the Daily Fail. It's just garbage. I personally didn't vote for Brexit, but the stuff they print is borderline propaganda. It has no basis in reality.

Do you visit Germany regularly or is this a one off visit/ trip? Pre Covid we’d go a few times a year, Berlin mainly for the Xmas markets, also my daughter lived in Venice but frequently visited her friends in Berlin so we’d get over to see her in Berlin a few times when possible. Also managed to sneak in a few city breaks to Berlin/Krakow with mates, basically drinking for three days, trying to sort Krakow out later this year if possible.

Ah nice we've just started back visiting our son in Frankfurt and we met some friends in Cologne on the way back the other week and had a good night out there. We're going to both in December for the Christmas markets we'll worth a visit.

Been a few days since this thread got a comment.
I guess that might be indicative that the great fuel crisis of 2021 is over?
No queues at my local station yesterday.
Anyone still having problems?

Even down in the SE things appear to be getting back to normal. I wonder what the press will try to panic the public with next?

How fucking dear is it!! Be cheaper fuelling a smackhead in exchange for a piggy back! Brent crude oil price has increased 60% this year hitting a 3 year high. www.cityam.com/oil-hits-three-year-high-before-falling-back/Another affect of the world coming out of a worldwide recession. Everything is in short supply as demand increases. But we could blame Brexit of course!!!

It's incredible how much fuel Americans need to keep going. Their biggest selling vehicle gets 24 mpg (our gallons, 20 mpg US).
