Low on fuel?
Went to get some Optimax today. Three Shell stations later and had to make do with Regular. A consequence of the Hemel bonfire it seems. The staff had no idea when there would be new supplies. In fact they weren't sure if they weren't going to run out of everything.

Better start panic buying

just filled up beep-beep - got enough now for 400 miles (if I go steady) and as my usual weekly use is about 40 miles, should last a little while

Rally - no optimax/super in Woking or Guildford - and not expected in till mid next week earliest
