    Around Barnet, it wasn't easy to get fuel - all petrol stations had a queue of about 15 cars. Joined a queue at the BP in Whetstone at 10:30pm only for it to run dry before I could get to the pump! Made it to South Mimms where the queue for 6 running pumps was about 6 cars long, so not awful.

    The thing was, I was watching the news at 10pm and thinking "This is just panic buying. There isn't a shortage and (probably) won't be. All these idiots are causing queues and garages to run dry prematurely....".

    I then got in the car to join them................:D

    All garages in east London are packed with cars with long queues outside.

    Use PaintShopPro instead! Anything that takes as long as Photoshop and Illustrator to load is a pain in the arse IMO.

    i use Macromedia Fireworks. It's a lot simpler to use.

    But Photoshop is the best if you put in the time to learn it.

    Yup - I had no trouble in Hertford this morning and no queues spotted at London Colney this lunchtime. I guess everyone has a full tank now! ;)

    Had no problems in St. Albans last night either. I did notice this morning that Shell regular unleaded was at 90.9p in Rickmansworth. Prices coming back down too?
