Panic buy has commenced
Sadly, it's inevitable and very difficult not to take part in if we have any impending trips to make. I have to confess to just having filled up myself as I have a trip to Wales coming up.....Originally Posted by Armitage Shanks
Brexit is cool.
No fuel, no food, no co2, record homeless, record waits for nhs…..it’s amazing how good things are
The stations will be closed again in a couple of days, whilst people who usually run their car between empty and half full will be sat on a full tank, ready to see them do their weekly shopping trip next week.
I despair at humanity.
Me too
Bridgend twats
Probably all Liverpool and Manure supporters as well or even worse JB's!
If they hadn’t plastered this all over the news then we be ok just getting our usual amounts of fuel.
Next thing will be fuel being rationed to key workers and emergency services.
Who are 'they? Should the media be forced to refrain from reporting factual events?
It was sensationalist
Demand has tripled just because of that report
British Bullshit Corporation
So the BBC was the only media organisation reporting the true situation?
just took me 40 minutes to get petrol tesco st mellons quite a steady queue building up
by the way usually get petrol on Fridays not panic buying
Chaos at the Three Arches Garage in Heathwood Rd with cars backed up to turn left in the garage and from the opposite direction cars trying to turn right into the forecourt with no-one letting them in.
It's like toilet paper all over again.. Also, there's no diesel in Asda Cardiff Bay,
Same type of people who cleared out the supermarkets just before the first lockdown
I'm not sure why but that made me laugh.....

Media Yes and in some cases certain stuff they consider to be of public interest, do cause immediate issues.
So yes sensationalising something is irresponsible.
If the government is coming out and saying not to panic buy - then there clearly is a problem.
What sanctions should be handed down to journalists reporting uncomfortable truths? And who should decide what subjects are taboo and which must be suppressed?
I still got my petrol ration tokens from the 70’s
Anyone remember that shortage
There was a shortage of petrol tokens?
I fill up, full tank £70ish every Friday (drive all week for work)
Need petrol car is nearly empty, and cant bring myself to fill up, because don't want to join the knobs waiting down there.
Ah well stay in and watch Ryder cup all weekend now
A friend on Sunday was queuing at Asda ,the lady just in front of him filled up her car within 30 seconds, he was on the opposite side of the pump and could hear the noise the pump makes when it detects the fill level, he heard it twice ,reckons she'd got about 3.50 into the car , so happy days
