Monday 6.30 AM... traffic backed up in Leeds on the fourcourt and 5 cars back up the road...
Monday 12.00 PM... Same story, a bit longer wait...
NOW... Petrol stations are empty, Hull has limited fuel, and don't have a delivery due till Thursday, which they have been told they won't get... Leeds have a bit left and won't get any till Thursday also, they are hopeful they will get theres... we stopped at every filling station from Hull to Leeds looking for fuel and no one had any...
Good thing I sat the traffic out tonight and got ome after work, although the protest hasn't happened yet, it seems panic buying has got the better of us again and we are running low...
The BMW X5 wasn't happy tonight running on red light from Hull to Leeds, but what can you do, it insists on drinking a gallon a mile, so we'll let it suffer 
Get your furl tomorrow if you want some, the petrol station staff aren;t hopefull it;ll last much longer than tomorrow aft.

Anyone else get the feeling the protesters are just winding us up, making us do our own fuel shortages?
Will prob do it a few times, then when we get complacent, actually do a real blockade

Its fucking sad that everyone rushes down to petrol station to buy fuel when really they don't need it anyway and they fill up jerry cans etc. It's a 2 day fuel bloackade or whatever not fucking world war 3 with rationing.
If you need some now buy some if you don't just fucking wait instead of blocking the roads

Obviously though people who make long trips to work and back need it though but the mums who do the school runs and fill the car up once a year. Why go now and buy some ffs
