We shouldn't laugh @wild edges - it's quite possible that it'll happen  I should have been going to the cemetery yesterday, as it was my dad's birthday, but I've only about 70 miles worth of fuel left, and the cemetery is around thirty miles away, so I decided not to, even if I could have got any. Other people need it more than me, as they have to work, and I don't. Simple. If other people stopped being so self absorbed, a lot of problems nowadays could be solved more easily IMO. There was a woman who called into the radio programme and said she'd queued to get fuel [for work] and the person in front of her had bought less than £2's worth. There's the problem - right there.Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

When I commuted regularly I used to keep a large jerry can full of diesel in the garage and refresh it every 3 months or so. Mostly it was because my wife used to drive her car until the fuel light came on then nick mine the next day but it was useful when I didn't want to have to find a garage to fill up when I was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Going back to scummy people I was just watching my neighbour hanging out of her back door for a smoke. She just had a baby a few months ago so at least she does it outside now, but the back door is surrounded by about 10 piles of dog crap, all on the decking sat in puddles of water after the rain last night. The dog must be tracking it all back into the house every time it goes out there Their garden is all decking and the ground underneath slopes steeply down into the neighbour's garden below. Imagine the runoff they're getting too.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
A delightful creature by the sound of her @wild edges. I had a similar neighbour at one point. She was too lazy to pick up the sh*t too. She was also too lazy to put oil in her car. That was the husband's job apparently. When the entire engine seized, it was a drama - but not her fault- of course....

My cousins daughter is a community nurse, has to drive 40 miles to get to work, can’t get any fuel,  that’s Dersingham, Norfolk.  Tearing her hair out on Facebook last night.

I was sitting at roundabout waiting to get onto a filling station forecourt. I gestured to the car waiting to get onto the roundabout to pull out. He immediately turned onto the forecourt and jumped the queue. Just as I was thinking " how rude " he got out of his car and called over to me " she's just moving in front of me, do you want that pump?" Folk are nicer down here in these parts
