Went in to pay for petrol, I’ve just been advised to not do long journeys if possible, and to ensure that when filling up for a journey, to make sure to have enough to get back, as you can now not rely on other stations in unfamiliar areas to have fuel.
Lady in front of me in the queue says she was turned away from the Tesco garage because they had SOLD OUT!
Queues for garages are spilling out onto main streets, and if you can get fuel, it’ll now cost an arm and a leg.
Meanwhile, Starmer was directly asked today if we should start preparing for shortages of any kind, and of course he acted as if there is nothing going on.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40:
Option A:
Single. No kids.
$10M net worth.
Travel anywhere. Total freedom.
Quiet house. Quiet holidays.
Option B:
Married. 3 kids.
$1M net worth.
Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning.
Loud house. Full dinner table.
Be honest, which life are you choosing?

Wow this attendance. The public of Huddersfield have firmly given their verdict to the team and club! 🖕

@BlakRainKraiyon @jointrw_school Single person, paying just over £200 per month council tax (Cheshire). London CT is much cheaper

@jointrw_school One person no fit pay council tax 180 even the NI is wrong. Even two people with highest tax band can’t pay 180. Lies

@HeroDividend So, the clock in/out machine will record this. If hours are below the minimum, Sharon will get it in the neck. Just work your contracted hours, anything else, you are in the wrong
English
@StockSqueeze @HeroDividend Work the contracted hours - plus a bit more. The ‘oh it’s only 3 minutes brigade’ did that person arrive at work and get straight to it, or would you get a coffee, catch up with colleagues etc? Bare minimum is work your contracted hours, in reality work a little extra to account

@HeroDividend Put in my 2 weeks. I don't like being nickel and dimed at work.

@ROBANDTHEMOB @secondtierpod @AndyTurnerccfc @Coventry_City @stokecity That’s at half time. The populated areas were full at both ends
English
@secondtierpod @AndyTurnerccfc 🐂 💩: the actual ground looked like this during the game, with an attendance of 13,894 split between a maximum of 4000 @Coventry_City and 8,894 @stokecity fans

Quite the contrast in attendance for Stoke vs. Coventry in the FA Cup.
Are fans bothered about the cup? 🤔
Impressive from Coventry btw 👏

@MavenPolitic So my pint at the match - then drive home 2 hours after finishing it, now becomes “risky”
English
If a single pint after work with colleagues becomes legally risky, then the 5-7pm pub business collapses. Completely.
With so many pubs already struggling, this will be a death knell.

We've got the biggest overhaul of road safety for a generation coming on Wednesday, @benclatworthy reports * Motorists over 70 face mandatory eyesight tests every three years, ending the system of self-reporting * The government is also drawing up plans for a detailed cognitive test for older drivers * The drink-drive limit is likely to be reduced from 35mg/100ml to 22mg, making even a pint risky * Drivers will be given penalty points if passengers fail to wear seatbelts * Ministers believe that the figures show that key road safety messages about wearing seatbelts and avoiding drink-driving no longer work. * They are concerned around a rise in drug-driving and the number of older people who continue to drive, despite having failing sight and other medical conditions thetimes.com/uk/transport/a…

@jamiepfc1 @darin_waugh I choose away seat tickets, online from a seating plan. I take my son, need an aisle seat so he can see as obviously everyone stands (fine with that by the way)
English
@darin_waugh at my home stadium i sit near the back of the stand as i like to be further back from the pitch. When i buy a ticket for an away game i get a randomly selected seat which i can’t choose. Solution is either let people choose seats on the website like you do for a home game
English
Away tickets should not have a seat number and should be a free for all, with exception of disabled section👍

@Rhigallimorexo Hope the ref understands - one year the ref blew his whistle straight after the last post

The fact they’ve had to make the 3rd point just shows how thick some of our fans are 😭

Stoke City will host their annual Remembrance fixture tomorrow. Following The Last Post, we will pause for a minute's silence, in tribute to fallen servicemen and women.

@nathphilk Same comment from my 9 year old, been coming since he was 2
English
This lad has been coming home and away week after week for 7 years, he’s only ever seen utter shit, relegation scraps and 16th/15th placed finishes.
Today for the first time ever he said “it’s so much more fun when we’re good”
Finally some reward for sticking with it 🥹

@Adam_Salter4 Crewe’s keeper did this in the play off semis a couple of years back if I’m not mistaken? @sirrichspencer

This is utter genius from Hannah Hampton. Other goalkeepers will surely be taking notes from this. 👏👏👏

Hannah hampton just went on talk sport and revealed that during the pen shootout she realised Cata had her waterbottle in the goal with the stats for penalties on it. So hannah picked it up and threw it into the crowd and replaced it with her water bottle. When beth went up to
