Absolutely ridiculous.
They say “no need to panic buy” and it results in everyone rushing to the petrol station.
I just tried to get some petrol at cellarhead and they are queuing and half the pumps are closed.
So ended up going to the one on the way to cheadle and it’s £30 max.

Crazy, crazy scenes out there fuelled by arsehole media people and lapped up by utter selfish morons.
Shame on you.

We need a war against the media
The problem is people are thick enough to defend the media

In the event of the country running out my missus has an electric car, and I have a push bike.
Utter dickheads, and there will be care workers in the community and key workers trying to fill up just so they can do their job amongst them, that's the most frustrating thing about it.....

Most of them will fill up and then go and leave it on the drive for fear of using any of it. If they have to pop round to see Aunty Ivy on Sunday (4 miles away) they'll make sure they top up on the way back..... 'just in case'.

Britain has 8,500 filling stations of which 30 were closed yesterday (ie less than half of one percent).
I wouldn't mind betting that on any given day more that that are closed for routine maintenance, road diversions etc and no-one bats an eyelid.
By Wednesday when everyone's queued to fill up and then opted to work from home and the stations have been replenished we'll be swimming in the stuff!

Queues down the road at my local , i wonder what it was in the minister's statement didn't understand Why would anyone believe a word that comes out of Grant Shapps' mouth though? He's part of Cabinet that engages in serial lying. That's part of the problem. Complete lack of trust. It would be really out of character for him to be saying something that is actually true.

I genuinely need to top my car up for a trip to an event with it tomorrow when I finish work, if all the sour old minges have saffed the Shell VPower to fill their Kia Picantos I'm going to be fuming.
However as the last two years have proven, people will believe literally anything the media tells them.
Cockends.

My wife's just driven back from picking up a bit of shopping at our local Tesco - she says there was a queue about 100 yards long to get to the pumps and the forecourt was totally packed. These selfish barstewards should be utterly ashamed of themselves, but as we saw in the early days of Covid, panic buying is the new norm when there is absolutely no reason for it.
We drove past a Morrisons garage earlier today, same situation there as well, long, long queues for the forecourt.
We'll wait till later next week to fill up - when we actually need to, and hopefully all the idiots will be out of the way by then.

The Government telling us not to panic. Just a sure fire way of earning a quick buck in taxes.

I saw this coming and managed to fill her car this morning before she works this weekend and people were there with their cans filling up. God knows what we will do next week, I fear we will have to take our chances wherever has fuel People don't realise panic buying will create an actual shortage. The government and media are 100% responsible for this and it's frankly disgusting behaviour from them.

The most panic buying can do is cause a temporary shortage - unlike bog rolls and pasta once people's tanks are full they can't keep buying it. What you're getting at the moment is people who would have filled up sometime over the weekend for the week ahead all filling up on a Friday and most won't use much of it. It will all have blown over by Tuesday afternoon.
