Petrol Crisis?
"There is no petrol shortage" said a government spokesman this morning.
Well there was certainly one at Tesco in Blackburn last night. We got back from Carnforth (with barely enough to get us home) and popped round to put a drop in the tank only to find signs saying "No Fuel". Thankfully the next place we called at did have some.
What's the general opinion? Is there a shortage? Or is it down to panic buying?
When there looks like being a problem do you go out and fill up your tank if you wouldn't otherwise do so?
My mother used to buy extra bags of sugar whenever there was a threatened sugar shortage but we hardly ever used any of the stuff! They'd sit there in the pantry for ages going rock solid! Why did we have sugar crises in those days anyway?
