Panic Buying, here we go again

It seems it was only BP which had problems with driver shortages. The others were all ok until the media exaggerated things a little and now Tesco and some Esso garages are having problems as they can't get fuel delivered quickly enough due to panic buying.

Around Norwich today there were traffic jams caused by cars queuing into the roads and blocking them and buses are facing delays and moving stops away from supermarkets with garages as they can't get there. Madness.

Yes, of course they would ( panic buy) didn’t matter that the government ( or anyone) said not to panic, the minute the media reported that a mere handful of garages had no fuel, people would be out trying to fill up whether they needed to or not.

If they hadn't said "no need to panic" probably no one would have done so!

Fair doos if you are filling up your vehicle but to fill cans as well is not on.

It is pointless advising some people not to panic buy because they go out and do just that.

The minute the government say don’t panic everyone does. Why don’t they try and sort it without scaremongering, then people would just buy as normal.

Nothing here either (thankfully I only have my cycle) but my daughter needed to fill up for work etc and nothing in the area at all except hour long queues people are so blxxxy stupid I see the toilet rolls have all gone in the supermarket ffs what’s wrong with people I d rather use newspaper than go on a Loo roll hunt ??‍♀️

Our area is horrendous, apparently queues for miles, all day we’ve had people coming into work with horror stories,
Although I have to say my commute home was quieter than usual, so perhaps people are using their common sense and staying home.
