Pretend it's broken and get the AA/RAC to take you home.

Good plan, especially as it is included with my bank account so no higher charges next year anyway.

If I call them out in the holiday place, I can have my breakfast at ease whilst waiting for them to arrive

It gets worse!
A small independent garage in a small village near me put their prices up 5p a litre yesterday. Then advertised on local social media that they have fuel, so of course there were queues for miles this morning. At 10.30am they ran dry. So profiteering and will have no fuel until whenever they get their next delivery, which is not very community spirited is it?
And the idiot public seem more than happy to pay the extra cost.

Just putting this out in case it helps someone:
If anyone does get stuck in Norfolk and cannot get home due to lack of fuel, I have plenty of space on my drive and it's ten minutes walk to the railway station.
Happy to store your car if you desperately need to get home.

And we wonder why they are running out - the selfish git!

Not noticed any thing out of the ordinary in our neck of the woods yet.

Not passed a petrol station yet as we are on a walking holiday in the Cotswolds. Only regret is not filling up when we arrived in the area for the way back …

The morons have been out in force opposite my house. I need fuel for our family car, but I can’t bring myself to join them.

A refinery truck pulled in and people immediately drove over the cones to park up to get ready.
