Comedian Omid Djalili said “there is no petrol shortage in the UK” and told people “it’s your fault” as he travelled in the car on his way to his gig in Spalding in Lincolnshire on Friday and Lincoln on Sunday.
The actor and comedian is currently travelling the UK with his ‘The Good Times Tour’ and during part of his trip only saw one petrol station in 10 that was open, but said there are “no petrol stations that have a problem”.
He also said “free tickets to anyone who arrives with a few litres of petrol”.
Omid will perform at the South Holland Centre in Spalding at 8pm on Friday, October 1. He will also bring his tour to the New Theatre Royal in Lincoln on Sunday, October 3.
In a video on Twitter he said: “Look at that queue for the petrol station, wow, that’s why we’re in traffic. Everyone’s honking.
“Well that’s the first petrol station I’ve seen open in 10 petrol stations we’ve gone by, but let’s be very clear – there is no petrol shortage in the UK.
“Actually, if you didn’t go around looking for petrol stations then you’d realise there are no petrol stations that have a problem, so it’s your own fault.”

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
