I'm lucky. Wisbech seems to not be panic buying too much. God knows why...most of them are Jeremy Kyle material. I'm almost proud of them lmao

My area is full of Indians.. :lol: They go mad at times like this. Even if there is discount on something on ASDA, all the Indians will know about it and they line up. :?

I genuinely needed fuel but ended up spending a half hour trying to find a garage with any left tonight. Eventually got some at a Shell that was limiting purchases to £20 per customer and had banned fuel containers. The fuel container thing makes sense to me, but the £20 is annoying. 20 litres would have been more sensible, specially if you're on the V-Power :x

It's insane. No doubt people here will hear about everywhere else being dry and THEN panic buy. Then I won't be able to get any fuel...

All because tankers want better working conditions.

Recon Cameron will go on strike next...:D

The country will probably run better!
