Couple of Sheffield lads in our accommodation tell us that there has bit a bit of fighting over fuel at a service station in Sheffield. Nuts. The country is going to hell in a handcart…🙄
I bought fuel today but there was no panic. I put fuel in every Friday.
It was busier than usual but no more than a 2 minute wait for the pump in front to clear.
That will see me through to next Friday.

Not seen any evidence of panic buying around my way either, must be a thing in big towns and cities.
They are still doing it around here - 11pm and still queues into the garage. It’s just embarrassing and some people that really need the petrol are going to be stuck because of the actions of selfish idiots

Not sure that's quite correct. Have you seen the rise in gas prices recently?
Just got in after a couple hours driving about, everything was empty. Tesco had fuel but queues were about half a mile long. Thankfully there’s a new service station that opened up this week. Was only queuing for 30 minutes.
£30 limit tho, so will get me back from my away match tomorrow but not much more.

Whenever the media reports on some possible minor glitch in the supply of anything (pasta, toilet rolls, fuel, etc), there's a whole legion of intellectually challenged members of the public who will turn it into a genuine shortage.
The media needs to agree to bury this type of news to protect us all from the irrational reaction of these numpties. A kind of self-imposed D-notice for the good of the nation.

Local Sainsbury's ran out at lunchtime, just seen on local social media there are q's waiting for the tanker to turn up?
Complete and utter twats.

Local Morrison’s had people queuing from 5am this morning and last night a fight broke out with people filling containers as well

A fine example of the "I'm alright jack' culture in the UK.
It's lamentable how we've turned into such a selfish nation.

The ultimate karma....
Dozens of cars blocking the road waiting for the tanker to deliver.....tanker can't get to the forecourt as it can't get through the queue of cars waiting for the tanker to arrive..
I think its time for an Apocalypse - the world has gone to rat poo..

I’m meant to be travelling to the Manchester office on Tuesday for a really pointless face to face meeting. To make things worse I was asked to pick some others up - to “provide more vfm” than the usual train journey. If this lunacy keeps up, I’ve got a perfect excuse not to go.
Was out early evening yesterday and didn't spot any silliness at the two I passed, although I didn't stop. Heading in the M25 direction today so will see what that brings. Perhaps I'll regret not topping up yesterday.

Forget about waiting for drivers from the EU to arrive, get the army and RAF drivers in TODAY so that the message is that there are now sufficient drivers…so public can be reassured there is no need to top up and so can stop this panicking immediately. But actions not just words TODAY.
