Tesco at KP had completely run out of normal unleaded and only had premium left. I splashed out cos I'm a gangsta but the place was bedlam. What a winter we've got in store here. I'm now with Octopus Energy as all Avro customers have been hoyed across. They seem like good lads so far. Aye we've just had an e mail saying we're getting moved to Octopus from Avro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7012 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) What a fucking ball aches passports are post-Brexit Flying to Rhodes in 3 weeks. The wife's passport expires 01/2022. Had a random thought that I should double check it's still valid. Turns out it expired for EU use on 12/2020. 13 months just disappeared off it. Easy fix I thought. We'll just pay extra for the "1 week premium passport service". Except it's 9 days until the next appointment at Durham for a 1 week passport. And then it takes 7 days after the appointment for the passport to get delivered Welcome to Tory Britain Edited September 27, 2021 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21451 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Paying more for a blue passport that isn't blue made in Polland for a French company that isn't as useful and doesn't last as long as the old EU one. Peak Brexit. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is Rhodes Town (the old town). Been on a Med cruise with a stop at Rhodes Town a couple of times too. The island’s worth a tour if you have a car. The west coast is wild and largely deserted, as it’s windy as fuck. Lots of ruined castles from the crusades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The petrol shortage is starting to affect schools. Some school buses in Oxfordshire aren't running as they have no fuel. Also some teachers can't get into schools for the same reason. Apparently as tankers are pulling up at garages & filling up people are straight onto social media & within hours the garages are empty again. Seems like telling people NOT to panic buy has had the complete opposite effect. What now Boris old chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21451 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Surely at some point every panic buyer will have a full tank? Mind Mrs Rents saw the queue was short at Sainsbury's yesterday so decided to get some petrol as we have a lot of driving this weekend (I reckon we probably have enough but anyway..). She was still stuck there an hour as the 3 people in front of her were all filling Jerry cans they had in their boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34954 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I like how they can’t seem to decide if they are or if they’re not calling in the army. Because the 150 drivers they’re proposing will have a negligible effect anyway. This government in microcosm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
