Not a great day...

I had to get 4 drums a hand pump and a hose for a customer. He has also ran out of heating fuel, he's been waiting for 3 weeks. He got his Gardner to come a collect them in his pick up and get them filled. If anyone wants I can ask if they are struggling for fuel.

Speaking to my company Peter, they have the oil, but many customers out here are on side roads which are still lethal so they just can not get out to them.

I have been with Connon Oil since we moved in here fifteen years ago, most of that with the same driver Neil. Never shopped around for prices as the good service means more. Purely by coincidence this afternoon I called him to say I had a bottle of Macallan for Xmas that he could pick up if he happened to be passing.

His tanker just turned up with 2,000 litres. Purely by coincidence of course.

Owen residence is also having a cold xmas.
Running out of oil and mid January for delivery. I'm with Brogans and find this seriously out of order.
The way I see it, I pay DD @ £140 a month and they can't deliver. So I'm paying for a service they are currently not offering me. They said if I can get hold of drums I can come and collect.

Give it a few days and i can offer a solution to those that are having delivery issues

I have a 1000litre tank on the trailer behind the landrover. It is currently full with some heating oil for ourselves once it is empty which should be after this weekend then folk are welcome to borrow it.

I'm off between crimbo and new year so i can help out those that are in the poop and local.

if you are deeply in the poop and freezing to death i can lend a few drums worth.

You're some boy Paul and full of Xmas spirit.
We're sorted now though. Delivery yesterday!

Well if Gareth is sorted the offer is there for anyone else who is in need but i think everyone is getting oil.
