Fighting for fuel in New York

[NorthernRaider]

Wifey tells me that on Sky news they are so desperate for petrol they are now fighting each other in the petrol stations. NOTE only 30% of petrol stations are open YET New Jersey is one of the biggest places in the US for refining petrol.

The Yellow can fleet is being driven off the road due to lack of fuel, Daft point many motorists are standing on foot with two small 10 liter jerry cans each trying to get petrol, even if succesful 20 litres of petrol will only run the average car for an hour or two, less if crawling along.

Learn mon amis, Learn, make notes, observe the disaster and adapt your plans.

Adapt plans? This is what I'm planning for.

I'm remembering the government advice of "fill your tanks as there is going to be a tanker strike".
That went down well didn't it?
Instant fuel shortages.

We don't need disasters to cock things up in the UK, TPTB do a brilliant job of doing that all by themselves.

Should have put that into your poll NR as option 3
Have you ever thought that the government COBRA decisions are any good?

I've go no faith in any political system that thinks a country needs a welfare state.

COBRA just means Cabinet Office Briefing Room A. They have room B and C as well. No joke, that's all COBRA means haha. How crap and deceptive is our government.
