Yet again this morning I was up before 5am in the forlorn hope of buying petrol.
As usual I was almost at the front of the queue after being told yesterday by the local garage manager that the resupply was happening overnight.
It hadn't, and when he arrived he told me it was coming between 6 and 10 am. I should have waited but it was raining so hard I was beginning to feel concussed - and thus I went home.
Mistake.
I just popped down there to look and the queue of cars seemed to last forever. Now they're even bringing in the army (unfortunately not to shoot or arrest the idiots determined to fill up their cars up every day with fuel they don't need) but to drive tankers.
Well, until this is all over I have to take the Underground to work as I've got absolutely none left in my two bikes. Knowing my usually miserable luck I'll probably catch Covid.
I'd heard they were bringing the military in. A lot of people don't seem to understand how on the edge global supply systems can be--it's scary when you start looking into it.
ReplyDeleteIt really only becomes scary when the toilet roll and pasta people begin the panic, simply by panicking.
ReplyDeleteIf you have to start using pasta for toilet paper, you're in big trouble.
DeleteI hadn't thought of that
DeleteI'm kind of sorry I did!
