Yes Girls,

Whilst the fuel situation appears to be easing, you will be pleased to know that we ARE classed as essential. Check this out:
www.fuelinfo.gov.uk/statement.htm

There are 258 petrol stations nationwide where we can get fuel with our ID. Follow the links from the above page for their locations.

RE: Pipelines

Heathrow and Gatwick are fed from an extensive fuel pipeline network. EGLL's pipe starts from Fawley, near Southampton. I think the feed for Gatwick breaks off from it near Alton in Hants. Check out:

Info on some other pipelines can be found at:

Cheerio.
