Hay-ride?

Way back in the nineteenth century, Keilor was in all likelihood a 'one-horse town'. Since we arrived here in 1972, it has been a 'one service-station town'.

The current semi-national fuel shortage (as a result of authorities grounding (?) most of the road tanker fleet normally delivering petrol to urban BP and Shell servos) has apparently impacted only sporadically around greater Melbourne thus far ... but, this afternoon I noticed long queues of vehicles waiting to get fuel at our local outlet, where a number of pumps had appeared to have run dry.

Our one stop fuel shop is, naturally, a Shell outlet.
Another example of big business having all its eggs in one basket!

Ho hum!
