To confirm theo's post about petrol supplies, I've filled up with petrol twice now since the "crisis" and was 3rd in the queue the first time (quite normal) and drove straight to a pump the second time.
I spoke to a brewery delivery driver a couple of days ago and he said that as far as his firm was concerned, there was no "crisis". Deliveries are being made on time and are almost 100% of the supplies ordered. The biggest problem is many of their customers are ordering extra to cover themselves and the "just in time" deliveries are being stretched.
His (and my) opinion is that this is a situation that is over-exaggerated by the media. It doesn't let the Tories off the hook for their inaction at every stage, though.
