I have just got in from shopping, whilst out I saw several petrol stations with very long queues. From what I heard it was drivers from one company (Shell) who are on strike not everyone! What is wrong with these people do they have brains the size of peas?

I take issue with the term "panic buying".
If the possibility of fuel shortage is there then it's only natural that people will stock up on it.

Anyway, I've not been out today to see what's happeneing, so wondered if anyone else has experience of shortages.

The BBC have an interactive reporting map:

Something went wrong with it ealier, it was reset in the early afternoon.

Happy chappy
