What about someone with half a tank of petrol who is making a long journey in the morning?
Are they over 50?

Question for Tikay
Do trains get effected by the petrol crisis? I understand the modern ones use petrol, but do they have their own reserves of it?

Morning Barry.
I doubt "trains" (or, "locomotives"), modern or otherwise, ever used petrol, it is not a suitable medium for railway propulsion.
Diesel was used for many decades, after steam & pre electrification. There are still plenty of diesel powered locomotives & trains in operation.
However, none of them will be affected by the potential strike by fuel tanker drivers. The TOC's have their own substantial fuel reserves, & these are usually fed by pipeline, direct from refineries, not road transport.
The electrified sevices will also be unaffected.
Here's a photo of a diesel powered & iconic Class 56.

Could not agree more, David, very little excites as much as a Deltic. If you ever get chance to use, or change at, Derby Station, there is always a Deltic parked at one end of the Station.
As a GWR man, I was always a little jealous of those wonderful Deltics, but the "Westerns" & "Warships" were pretty cool, Dad used to drive both when they were first introduced, & with H & S being less sensitive in those days, I spent many a journey from Paddington to Bristol in the cabs of these.
Anyway, enough of these wonderful pleasantries, we have hijacked the ANGRY THREAD, so we'd better move on.

There are 4 petrols stations in area which I live. 1 of them is a BP independantly run which is always 2p per litre more expensive than the other 3.
The other 3 had queues many cars deep,the expensive 1 had no cars at all.
This made my day as I needed a fill up for work and paying a premium of a pound or so was well worth not queing.

Not angry, by my standards....but hopefully I am allowed a shake of the head at
"Woman suffers 40% burns when petrol ignited while she was transferring it to containers in her kitchen in York"
In her kitchen?
