I'm with you all the way. I was nearly empty this pm and had to queue for fifteen minutes at Morrisons in Haverfordwest, normally it's straight to a pump. Nearby Tesco had to close for a time, not because their tanks had run dry but to control the volume of traffic spilling back onto two roads.
As soon as the papers arrived at the shop this morning one look at the hysterical headlines was enough to tell anyone that the stuff was going to hit the fan. And the Beeb and ITV are just as bad, both were dribbling at the mouth on their 10pm news programs last night.
There isn't even a chuffing shortage of the stuff, it's just taking a day longer to arrive at some petrol stations. Nothing yer average Brit likes as much as a good panic.
