All week there have been massive ques at the petrol stations, so I'm wondering if theres a scare on that I wasn't aware of or an upcoming price increase?

It really seems to be bringing out the Idiot as I got stuck trying to get into tesco earlier and just had to wait ages at my local garage because people were parking next to the pumps (And I had to wait because a woman sat next to the middle pump on ones side, the person behind was done, when the moped at the front moved away the woman moved up one pump then filled her car so the car behind was stuck at a free pump and the only the car between me and them could fill up, then I had to wait for them to pay because there was no space to get round) Then got home to find two people parked oposite my house and my neighbours house, opposite my neighbours friends car, luckilly they were just going so I could cut across my neigbours drive to mine.

Sorry to go off topic and rant but I feel better for it.

Same in my area local Morrisions has been particularly bad this week

Cueing into my Tesco's tonight too.

Probably started by a guy on a forum who had to wait 5 minutes to fill up

half term?

Round by us it gets busy when the forecast is bad - also usually coincides with the fuel price going up

Frankp Is probably right, Its half term I think so it seems the logical explination that the two are linked.

I thought it was because 2 stations round here have closed for refurbishment...
