Hi, does anyone know of someone who can deliver emergency containers of heating oil in the Lewes area?

Try Johnny Denis, you can find him via Google. He will probably know of someone as he's been involved with a fuel co-op for a while.

Think you can also buy small containers from their petrol station if urgent.

It was Offham Garage that came through in the end, but thanks for your posts. I have to say the piratical pricing of the oil suppliers in a cold snap is unbelievable - 500l costs normally �220 ish and the current price (with a ten day wait) is �335...

Disgusting but the way of the world I'm afraid. You watch food prices rise again because the cold has ruined crops, or farmers are unable to reach fields to harvest because of snow, shop shortages so raise the price, if you want it, pay over the odds for it. Petrol prices rise next because deliveries to and from refineries are missed due to road weather delays so demand is higher. Short and curlies unfortunately.

Just want to point out that I wasn't referring Rose and the team at Offham Garage when I was referring to the piratical pricing of the suppliers. They sorted me out some containers and even had someone come round and deliver it. Lovely people and top service.
