The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Bluesince1979]

Anyone hear the woman on 5live at approx 9am? Interviewed outside a petrol
station in altrincham that had a queue outside waiting for a tanker to fill the tanks up with fuel. Older Woman i would say .
“well i was driving along and saw the tanker and noticed people following it so i thought i better follow it too and im in the queue now. Ive got 1/2 a tank of fuel but if i fill up itll last me a month.”

whats she fuckin thinking on many points? A selfish sheep?

Maybe I just got lucky but past few days I don't know anyone that's struggled to get fuel (personally) went out last night and there was only one other car at the petrol station. Drove past two others on the way home both with fuel and not a single car filling up.

Here there are cable ties on a lot of pumps , it looked empty ish but you couldnt tell till you pull up to the pump that they were off

Situation is still appears to be bad in South and South East and East Anglia and patchy in the rest of the country.
Malthouse's message today was distinctly more downbeat from yesterday's government pronouncements.
Hey I've got a Ford Cortina just won't run without fuel.
Fill her up BoJo!

I filled up last night guy in front took a while but when I managed to get to the pump he'd squeezed £5.07 in, no wonder there's fuckin queues.

Because obviously a young non menopausal women would not do such an irrational act in a car, near a petrol station, during a fuel shortage, after seeing a queue.

I’ve been putting it off filling up since all this bollocks started and thought it would sort itself in time and needs must now, no queue at Costco, Oldham and just busy at other petrol stations (without queues) from what I could see.

It's all about the axel weights , yes since 1997 you need to get a C1 licence , prior to that you car licence covered you as hgv started at 8.5t

Yes passed my test in 77 and get C1 as standard on licence

Guy in front of me the other day in a decent sized van.....£10 quid, I asked him if they were rationing it. He mumbled something and shuffled off.

If you check his cellar he will also have 200 bog rolls and enough packs of rice to last 10 years !
