Panic Buying

[veggiechicken]

.so carries on my journey & managed to finally get me some....... 7 squids a gallon.... (for you young 'ens a gallon = 5 litres....).
At least I can manage to get to the lottie.

Glad you're sorted now but as for inflation or is it deflation? A gallon = 4.5 litres.
Can't get my head around whether that's more or less than 7 of the 8-legged sea creatures though!

That's one of the more polite names I've been called so thank you!!
I should also add that squid have 8 arms (not legs) and 2 tentacles - before any smart ..se comes along and corrects me!

Called in at Tesco this morning, no queue, no shortage and no price increase.

Still cost me £115-00 to tank up, thats 3 whole hankies of tears.

What do you drive, Potty, a petrol tanker?

[binley100]

Flippin'eck Potty , that'd fill my car nearly three times over ..........

[Potstubsdustbins]

Works van. If you remember some time ago there was an ad on the tele. A driver called out a breakdown service because a warning light that he did not understand had come on. The punch line 'it's the low fuel warning light sir'. They then went on to tell you how far you could travel on one tank of fuel.

What they failed to explain was just how big the bl**dy fuel tank was.

Me suckered.

Blimey, thought it was bad enough that it costs me about £70 these days to fill up - although I do run it right down as I hate filling up.

[veggiechicken]

Is there any room for your tools or is it all fuel tank? (and I''m not being rude here!)

[Potstubsdustbins]

Long wheel base jobbie so can get everything on board. Never found the fuel tank. I don't do car/van mechanics it would end up costing more to put my mistakes right than to do the job in the first place.

My plumber/central heating engineer has been here today to service the boiler. He doesn't have a whopper like you!
His name is Kevin but I wanted to call him Colin - all your fault!!

[Potstubsdustbins]

VC lets stick to vans shall we?

Doing what I do I can be upto 40 miles from base so everything has to come with me, tools & materials that is.

As long as you didn't call him Potty that may have not gone down well.

Colin

[veggiechicken]

Kevin has been coming here for over 20 years and he still calls me Mrs....... I don't call him Kevin - don't call him anything actually and, he does live down the road and round the corner so could come here on foot with his bag of bits and Henry if he had to.
Potty, if you have a big one, flaunt it!

[Potstubsdustbins]

Potty, if you have a big one, flaunt it!

Oh I do, flaunt it I mean. Jet wash it, polish it inside and out and sometimes have to stroke it lovingly to get it going.





We are still talking about vans, yes?
