Mike, I've moved this into the Scottish Region so there is a better chance they'll notice it

Cats know your every thought.

....and all this has done is spark panic buying.

I went to my local Shell garage yesterday afternoon and it was sooo busy.  I've never seen it like that.  It was only later on when I got to see the news that I learned what the fuss was about.

Loads of folk putting �5 in their tank to top it up and there is me with the car bonging at me for a top up and the fuel gauge needle bent double round the stop.  Not ammusing.

And I needed petrol for the mower but I wasn't going back out.
