nope, we have 3 petrol stations I my town, 2 of them were queueing on the road, Tesco's where I ended up stopping had run out of diesel on the outside rows of pumps, so only the middle row was being used ( which I guess would create the wait and make people brim it just incase )

Are people buying because they think there'll be a shortage, or because they're afraid the same product will be a few pennies more expensive next week?

A right pisser when businesses take advantage of situations like this. Not saying there won’t be problems but some take the mick. “Yeah mate, prices have gone up, it’s Brexit, it’s the Suez Canal being blocked, it’s Covid,” now I s’pose it’ll be “Yeah mate, Y fronts are £2 dearer, Ukraine innit”.

They aren't taking the piss. Those events will all have increased prices.

So why when these situations pass the price stays just as high?

Because it becomes the standard. As wrong as it is.

I’ll carry on with my opinion that opportunists take the piss, see the opening and stitch us up accordingly with no intention of reducing their falsely inflated prices in calmer times.

I did say that there would be problems, meaning some things go up legitimately, but it is a shyster’s perfect scenario.
