No fuel issues here in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, with the locals thinking that the English are a bit foolish ... again!

FTFY.
Many on this thread alone are pointing out that from experience, it's a very, very localised issue in just a few places. I hope you can do your bit to correct their misconceptions.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but... around 20 cars followed a tanker full of mortar for miles, until it stopped at the destination building site, when the driver heard car horns honking. The first driver asked which petrol station he was going to. When he explained he was carrying mortar, the driver said "You could have stopped and told us you weren't a petrol tanker". You couldn't invent it!

I travelled literally coast to coast across England last week and the petrol queues were everywhere along the route. I think most of the midlands and south have seen some of it.

Have you been panic buying San Miguel?

It appears that this whole situation has been caused by Hoyer, who have the contract for BP fiddling drivers out of salary and pension funds, and treating their drivers like rubbish, this was where the initial report about shortages of drivers came from.

funnily enough the fuel stations that have been closed I’ve spotted on my travels this month have been BP outlets, one 2 miles from me has been shut for a week now

No just out of fuel, with no prospect of getting any, it’s one of the busiest ones in the area, even the Police and Ambulances filled up there, I’ve been all over the northern part of England this month from Northumberland, South Tyneside, Durham , all of Yorkshire and down to Nottinghamshire, the only closed ones I’ve seen are BP outlets

Just a few places ? That's wrong.FTFY.

So why are the Petrol station organisation saying that 25% of their garages are out of petrol ?
It's better round here now but there were huge queues at every station I saw earlier in the week. Apart from the ones that had no petrol.

I am unaware of any nationwide shortage of San Miguel. If there actually is one, I'm reassured by the knowledge that I have a stock of 168 cans in the back of my van, and a few more in the chateau. This is part of my "Not Just In Time" logistics strategy.
BTW, if there's a shortage of pilchards, I just may be able to help you out.
