Referring back to the previously mentioned fuel strike.

I was a student who was only happy giving money to pubs, but the pumps had run dry at the petrol station. I had enough in the tank for a few small journeys but I was going to need some more petrol.

Word had gotten round that there had been a delivery at a petrol station nearby. I made my way there and joined the snaking queue down the road and proceeded to wait. It took about 45 mins to get to the pump, everyone filling up their tanks and additional fuel storage was taking ages.

I parked up, got out the car, and started to fill my car… stopped at £5.02. put the cap back on the petrol tank and paid with a cheque.
