run on fuel.

Do you remember a few weeks ago the panic buying of fuel. Well it happened in town, diesel dried up fast. and the queues where stopping normal traffic flow
I was not even trying to get fuel at this point, but was stuck in the traffic jam for 20 mins. As I finally got passed the fuel station, I see a sign saying no diesel.

That was great, no blockage, no tanker driver strike. Just the talk of they maybe a strike, after 7 day notice. and there is panic buying on fuel. It did not help that a minister said to stock some fuel at home in a 20 litre jerry can, which is wrong. you can only store 10 litres per container.

After the second day, and pleas from the media and ministers to not panic buy, the diesel running out again! 

My minibus was getting low on fuel. There was only one thing to do, use the Fuel Contingency Plan.

Now I am not going to tell you much about it, Just that I ended up queuing for the fuel there too.


Oh well at least there was only one waiting in front of me.

I been so long

Hi all

Sorry it been a bit since I last posted, but its been a bit mad at times. my computer failed, which did not help with blogging.

Both my dad and father in law are out of hospital. My dad had a massive chest infection, which has now cleared up and he has really cut down on the smoking.

The father in law is much better, but still has mobility problems. It could be much worse if it was not for the stroke being witnessed by someone who knew the signs, and got medical help as soon as possable.
 The F.A.S.T test  is a good indicator of a stroke.

Also since the last time I posted, I gained another year. and here is a weird fact for you all. I got more happy birthdays from Radio Shropshire staff then I got from staff at work.

There has been some other stuff going on in my life that I don't share with the internet. maybe one day, I will blog about it

Anyway on that note, I shall leave you will an escapee of Dave's bad joke emporium 'bloke goes to the doctors, "Doctor, I feel like a wigwam and a tepee" The Doctor replies "your too tense"

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.
