There will be no one for the gilet jaunes to try and stop!
There was no petrol in SuperU yesterday but itâs available today with a âŹ30 limit. I suppose it may get worse.
Out of interest how much fuel can one store - itâs at times like this I suddenly get quite interested in the idea of of sticking 20l of diesel in the shed in case I arrive and find I canât fill up.
Iâve got to drive back to UK Thursday, my mum has to go into hospital and quite serious for an 86 year old. So I took the dog to the vet to get the passport done and went to fill up - oops, rupture de gazole. Tried 2 more further away, same story. Now getting worried Iâm not even going to get back home, but the 4th had fuel with no apparent limit (fortunately as I put 78 litres in).
I think 20 litres in the shed is ok, and a good idea provided itâs used.
Some of the blockades were lifted today but I guess it will take a bit of time before things get back to normal.
Just filled my car up in Gironde as left work: tanked 70 litres, there was no limit imposed but there were hordes of people who presumably know something I donât, I have never seen the pumps so busy.
Half the problem is people hear these strikes are on then have to fill the car to maximum and containers.
You canât make it up how much the french like striking, a taste of things to come under a labour government.
Yep you never get any of this solidarity nonsense under a Tory régime do you 
Donât be silly. Do they have strikes in North Korea?
Just go home Barrie, youâll be so much happier.
Iâve got a ferry booked, nothing on DFDS website yet so fingers crossed
Well I will be at work. Along with certain branches of lâĂ©tatâŠ
Our village school will be closed due to the staff supporting the strike⊠but several children are expected to arrive and they will be looked after and well fed⊠
Has the petrol blockade spread outside of the west of France ?
You can click on a few of these⊠not sure how up to dateâŠ
Iâm wondering about our local prefecture - waiting for an sms/txt re collecting my CdS.
I donât blame the strikers for standing up for their rights - the govt. donât seem to have a clear idea of how to proceed, and that uncertainty is the worst aspect.
If the pensions system needs reform, why does âreformâ always seem to mean âworse for you, better for us - who donât really need a state pension anywayâ?
Itâs always the worst off who seem to suffer when âeconomic necessityâ is quoted by those with a nice little (normally tax-free) nest egg of their own.
