My friend's son is a doctor and can't get any petrol to go to work, he had to use the last of it to get his car MOT'd. Lockdown has truly highlighted the selfish and stupid in society.

Our town is gridlocked most of the time, what with major roadworks and temporary traffic lights all over the place, there is nowhere to go.
Add to that the petrol station queues, it has become impossible to get anywhere.

Unfortunately both roads leading from my house have petrol stations further along and now even they have no fuel at the moment there are still huge traffic jams in both directions. This has been on and off since Friday. Luckily i had shopped on Thursday and any journey by me can wsit but its a nightmare for some of my neighbours going to work or shop. I hope it eases soon.
