Looks like there may be a [url= http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16197966 ]shortage of fireworks[/url] soon as well. Can I stockpile some next to the jerrycans?

Technically speaking a jerry can actually has a capcity of 19 litres so storing a full one of those at home would actually be illegal if full of petrol.

Not sure on the regs re. diesel though.

They may be selling 25% more fuel at the moment but people aren't using any more fuel. So just leave it a while before filling up.

seem to recall someone round our way getting their collar felt (and all their neighbours being evacuated) in 2000 for stockpiling petrol in dustbins!

Just when I think the general population of this country couldn't get any dumber, something like this comes along to remind me how wrong I am.

I'm visualising the average nob who's rushing to stockpile fuel

Ah bollox. I have a job interview in the morning and need more fuel to get there. Looks like I'll have to join a sodding queue and look like one of the arsholes brimming a tank that they'll use before the actual (if there is one at all) strike
