Nicely done! How big is the LPG tank?
They threatened roadblocks round here but I haven't seen one yet. I filled up with gas at the big ASDA just outside York (Monks Cross) and they had people standing all round the car park with their trolleys, spaced at 2m. That was a massive queue, I'm glad we've got little local shops out here in the sticks.
It's around 95 litres IIRC which is 75 usable i think?
A49 is the main link road between Hereford and Leominster - my Main fuel station is there as it's 1.04PPL at the moment.
LPG is 56ppl at the Texaco in hereford..
Makes for a cheap running!!
I think the block on A49 is the first of many, akin to military checkpoints!!
Thinking of sticking convoy numbers on the P38's grille!! LOL

Much the same round here. The big Tesco Extra was ridiculously busy last time I went near there and I'm told there wasn't a lot left on the shelves but our village shop has just about everything you'd need. So with that and a local farm shop, haven't really had a problem. Got a full tank of LPG and just because I could, I've bunged some petrol in it too. Never seen the fuel gauge read over half a tank! Even though I officially retire on Tuesday, as a key worker I've got the official letter allowing me to go out, so I'll be hanging onto that just in case. In saying that, I've already been asked if I will come back as a contractor if needed. As a retirement piss up couldn't be organised due to the restrictions, we had a virtual party on Microsoft Teams last night, 23 people at the peak and it held up perfectly. Quite amusing seeing people all over the country drinking beer, cheaper too as it saved me having to buy a round!
Happy retirement R..
I have a local shop near me which is also a Pez station..
luckily it is 2mi away and is almost always full of stock because it is in the middle of nowhere.
If i venture into town the shops are bare...
Very odd..
Enjoy your retirement Richard, but only after you've gone back as a contractor and invoiced them to death!
I remember my ex-father in law was Chief Engineer for what was then Post Office Telephones in Manchester South. They were in the middle of switching out the old analogue exchanges to digital when he hit the mandatory (then) Civil Service retirement of 60. Within a week he was back as a consultant and I remember him musing that if he'd known how much they were going to give him earlier, he wouldn't have bothered working the intervening 44 years!
Enjoy your retirement Gilbert
