running on empty

Less than 12 hours after the annoucement that Ineos staff will be going on strike, which essentially means that Grangemouth won't be producing petrol, panic buying already seems to have kicked it.

It took me a good 35 minutes just to get into the petrol station to fill up, with the queue looking even longer by the time I left. My bikes back tire is totally ruined in addition to the inner tube, so rather than faff about with that I just bought myself a bus pass. If the strikes to continue, I just hope public transport keeps on ticking.
