Fuel? No panic.

"Don't panic," said our Gordon, "plenty of fuel for everyone, only one in ten garages will be affected, no need to worry, it'll be all-right, folks."
What a stupid thing to say. Anyone with half a brain would immediately realise that anything he says means the opposite. Hence the scenes of chaos at my local Sainsbury this afternoon with queues of cars waiting to grab any fuel going and queues of shoppers trying to get out of the car park as a result.

Our fuel gauge is flashing, hope we don't have to travel far for some diesel this morning!

Welcome back, Flighty.
Paul, this morning Sainsbury's was completely dry but I got fuel with no problem at all at a local garage. Weird!

I'm with you on that, Gemmak!

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
