Well I couldn't find any stations open today around me. My farrier told me this afternoon that he found one with Diesel but the queue was three to four hours long and they limit you to 20 euros worth. Shocked

Looks like it's now spreading to Nuclear plants so power cuts are next I suppose. Evil or Very Mad

Perhaps I need to spend a day panic buying tomorrow Laughing


I don't recommend panic buying nuclear power Very Happy


Fact of the day: France has 58 active reactors, second only to the US, yet it accounts for 75% of French electrical production, the highest per capita percentage in the world. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

There was only a problem for the first few days. The government quickly sorted things and there's been no shortages since. Not around where I live anyway.

I went from Plymouth to Roscoff a couple of weeks ago when it kicked off.. found myself with 120 miles left on my range computer and it was ~80 miles back to Roscoff... so we walked more tha last few days of our holiday and saved the fuel.. but 2 days later the garages were full again and I filled up with a nice cheap rate Smile My 1986 90 is currently on a full rebuild, with new chassis, Paint etc.. Very much a hybrid, TD5 Chassis, tub & bulkhead with a 200TDI and LT77 GB Painted in Stornoway Grey Smile 2 years off the road, but getting close to completion now
