The guy that supplies wood logs to my colleague said he saw someone filling Tesco carrier bags with fuel.

Don't they have holes in them to prevent kids suffocating ?

If nothing else this event shows how thin the veneer of civilisation is on a wider scale. Very sad indictment of the modern world we live in.

You have to use the proper "bag for life" ones, not the flimsy plastic ones - that would be foolish.

I wondered why it wasn't filling quickly !

THE petrol crisis has been exacerbated by people putting the wrong type of fuel in their cars.
According to the AA, there were 250 incidents of "misfuelling" over the weekend, compared with an average of 20-25 on an average day.

Poetic justice I'd say

We are all doomed !

If the fuel companies distribution network is limited due to lack of drivers then consumption will have fall to suit, either by queuing or by price. This is the free market.

Maybe we could have fuel rationing and I could sell my excess on the black market.

I have a horse and cart for sale if anyone is interested. No shortage of hay...

The move also appears to have polluted Mr Cox’s sense of humour, with the campaigner blaming ‘radical greens and cyclists’ for the stunt, which he branded ‘sick and puerile’.

OK - which of you did it????

Another crackpot that thinks cyclists only ever move by bike, because none of us own cars, do we? I know for some that IS the case, but only the fortunate few.

But the idea that the Guardian's big headline story of the day revolves around the possible deployment of 100 squaddies....? Give me strength...

The fuel story is a huge story, thus at the minute the media want every dot and comma.

Those blaming the media in some may might do well to consider this thread.

It must be the fastest moving and best viewed thread on CC this year, and arguably has made its own small contribution to the general nervousness over fuel supply.

I'm not criticising anyone for posting on here, but let's not pretend it's the media, social or otherwise, which is causing the problem.

The vast majority of us remain obsessively attached to our cars, and any attempt to weaken that attachment is vigorously resisted.

I love the wording the media use when reporting on this so called fuel shortage. Just listened to the Radio Clyde news report there, they are saying that "drivers are having to deal with long queues at petrol stations today". How about "drivers are CAUSING long queues at petrol stations today" and maybe adding on "because of their stupidity" for more effect.

A bit like recognising that you're not "stuck in traffic", you are the traffic.

But it wasn't significantly limited until people started panic buying, egged on by the media frenzy.
