....and all this has done is spark panic buying. I went to my local Shell garage yesterday afternoon and it was sooo busy. I've never seen it like that. It was only later on when I got to see the news that I learned what the fuss was about. Loads of folk putting £5 in their tank to top it up and there is me with the car bonging at me for a top up and the fuel gauge needle bent double round the stop. Not ammusing. And I needed petrol for the mower but I wasn't going back out. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
