And we just got ourselves a telepeage dongle so we don't have to queue at the toll gates! Don't know why we have not got one sooner - no fumbling with credit cards and tickets:

Please get it sorted by next May!

Situation No Better, 2 Hours to find Super 98, nearly did not make it. Not allowed Jerrycan at Petrol pump. Becoming unreal & complete mess for business.

I am more impressed you found fuel on a Sunday, regardless of the strike!
