No petrol

Not in my neck of SW London, anyway, as I discovered when I went out to
fill up Jamie's DT50MX yesterday.

Erk.

Not much domestic heating oil around North of Lunnon either, as we
discovered ringing about a delivery yesterday. Established customers
only, 10 days wait and 35p a litre FFS.

Indeed.

 

But its not road legal is it ?

 

>,
says...

Loads up here.

It's grim down south...

 

Not a problem here.

I won't tell if you won't.... I've got a couple of gallons in the
garage, for the lawnmower, so if they haven't re-stocked by the 7th
he'll still be OK.

 

I dunno, you southerners and your petrol hoarding, make life so much
harder for the rest of us

 

Plus the couple of cans under your desk...

It is diesel they hoard round here and you are nearly right, you just
forgot the bit about shooting them where they stand.

Er, no Ginge. It's grim up north, we just haven't got any petrol

 

Plenty here too

I did, however, notice today that 2 Total garages nearby had a number of
pumps out of action, and fairly big queues. No problem at the Texaco place
where I usually get wood, though.

Do you get extra services at your place then?

Nice!

 

Nothing wrong with a bit of danger, biker boy.

Filthy, filthy minds, the lot of you.

 

Who cares? I've only got one bike now and I'm not about to run
it in this weather. "It's grim down south-east London!"

Petro-erotic stimulation?

Is it a cashier type thing or the styling of the pumps?
