I would start a new thread about the current fuel crisis for those who wish to discuss it.
When will petrol stocks be back to normal levels?
How long will the UK fuel shortage last and when will it end?
It would not be a fuel crisis if people just carried on doing their usual routine of when they got fuel. Panick buying has just worsened the situation and the media haven’t helped as by highlighting the fuel shortages, this resulted in many people panick buying. Next will be toilet rolls again fuelled by the media.
