0.8 miles from my house but the light had been on for a quite bit. (Around 10miles ago)

That was the time I was looking for some where to fill up..

Could you walk it with a jerry can, just to see if it open and give yourself a few more miles?

I have heard that that particular station only giving £20 and no Jerry cans.

It should be alright after 3-4 days? I don't plan on using the car anyways.

Ah right yeah, in that case, wait it out. There are a lot of morons in the UK but they'll all have full cars eventually

I filled up yesterday with no problems, should last me 200 odd miles.

Oddly, none of the V power pumps seem to be empty?

I filled up my bike earlier, as a biker I just went ahead of the 'traffic' filled up paid and rode off. 2 mins in total

Did I upset any queing drivers? Probably... Pahahahahaha

Filled up the Lude too as the light was on, and I didn't want to be caught out with no fuel and no where left to get any, 2 entrances and everyone was queing for only one entrance so i go into 2nd entrance wait behind a van for a minute or two, then fill up. No drama! I think a lot of people just like to Que up, wait around and waste time.

Wonder if any cheeky bleeders are going start syphoning folks fuel again!

All this just makes me sad to be British! People must have taken time off just to queue for the stuff!
