Please don't panic buy.

Wife's just been in Iceland who earlier this week warned people not to panic buy Christmas frozen turkeys or meat. Yes you guessed it, no frozen meat or turkeys in the fridges. Muppets.

Barking mad
Just been for flu jabs and the High Street to the surgery was at a complete standstill due to the queue for a petrol station further down the road.
Took 30 minutes to move 800 yards
I think I'll start a rumour that 70's and 80's motorbikes are now impossible to buy due to #@%$, Covid and rider shortages - should see prices fly and queues forming to buy any pile of rusty crap with a vague two-wheeled shape.
Cheers,
Andy

That's a good point. Our local 'independent' garage has just 2 pumps, petrol and diesel and a man comes out and fills the car for you. In Wainfleet, also not far from us, there is a petrol station that is that old, the pumps are still on the pavement and you just pull up by the curb and they come out and serve you. But, with both places, their fuel is usually at least 1p per litre cheaper than the big sellers.

There is a small filling station on a housing estate in Duffield that still (I used it circa 2015 ish) had mechanical dispays in Gallons only - no money on the dials!
Not as bad as when I was in Cyprus a few years ago - the out of town Taverna had a hand wound mechanical pump.

Just got back from the shops and bog role is out of stock again.
Spoke to someone at the end off my road who drives less then 50miles a week and you've guessed it she sat in the queue for fuel she does't need.
What the #@%$ is wrong with people

We unfortunately now live in a country that contains million of very selfish people. Lots of nice ones as well, but the prats out there are everywhere.
