WELL done to all of you who went petrol panic buying last week, you must have been really proud of yourselves, and what's more your actions proved entirely counter productive.
Congratulations though, at least you might have become joke of the week at work for shamelessly joining an act of pure desperation for something that, well, was not in short supply anyway.
What's that I hear you say? There was a shortage? Hmmm... well there was yes, briefly, however it was caused by people like you who feared the worse and dashed to the pumps.
As a result, many were closed in Bucks, several in High Wycombe, and we have you to thank for the inconvenience. Not me, however. You see I filled up at the start of the week knowing there would be mass hysteria over this molehill of a problem. And before you get the hump, I only half-filled up so, no, I'm not greedy.
But I find it hard to believe in a country which has lived through the Blitz, bombings etc, that when it comes to something so pathetic as "possibly" having a fuel crisis, the nation becomes more desperate for petrol than a baby does for its mother's milk. Join my campaign Stop the drama queens! Life will be easier for the rest of us if you do.
