jLo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hello, the Horniman Tesco has fuel this morning, long queue down towards Lordship Lane. Nothing at the BP on Stanstead Road. The BP on Kirkdale has fuel, queue stretches back towards Sydenham Hill, moves quite quickly and they were marshalling it all in an orderly fashion!

JohnL Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Sky News saying there's hardly any fuel in South London - which is contradicted by above posts- but that's 24 hour news.If this was just panic buying it would have resolved now so there is a real issue.

malumbu Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Petrol Retailers Association reports better Nationwide availability but not London. I'd always go to the BBC for my news (heard it on Radio 4) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/58772169I'd only queue if I was desperate but fortunately all my journeys at the moment can be done by public transport, bike or foot. Weather will be improving I'm pleased to say!I've put down thoughts on government messaging on the Lounge - including what I feel is poor levels of information. This should have burned itself out by now - why not??

sally buying Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Or with many petrol garages being shut down and having flats built on the site there are not enough garages to fulfill the area need.

teddyboy23 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Esso on edr half of pumps working both fuels minimum purchase is ?30 maximum ?45 .I asked the fella inside about the money limits, he said its to deter people who are topping up their tanks is ?5 ?10 ?15 and making the queues longer for motorists who might need fuel more .I said put a sign up outside stating the limits so people know..you've got small notes on the pumps telling people.you can't see these from outside so motorist will still queue.could cause a problem for some .
