No, I will not be panic buying. With most foods or anything else I have enough to last two or three weeks anyway. It is not easy to resist the lure of panic buying when there is 'news' indicating there may be shortages. It is I reckon to a degree part of human nature, the survival part, especially when it comes to various foods. Not sure where toilet rolls or fuel fits into that but it's probably similar in that both are part of our survival in our lives.Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?
During a sugar shortage many years ago after a desperate plea from friends and relatives I brought a car load of sugar back from the continent....and I do mean a car load. Sugar being so heavy the car was down to the axles and I was stopped, car was stripped and searched at customs which took hours and they were non to carefull how they did the stripping either.Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?
In the 1960's my father in law worked for a huge car manufacturer in Dagenham and was often on strike so my mother in law kept cupboards and a huge larder absolutely bursting with tinned/packet food due to this. They were also the first people I knew to buy a chest freezer to enable them to buy whole sheep and/or pigs (butchered of course). I had never seen anything like it - and never have since.Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?
Only time we ever panic brought was when we were in the lake district and they announced petrol shortages on the monday. We were driving a large campervan towing a caravan at the time so we filled the van tank, and bought a lot of smaller containers and filled them over the weekend. Just so we knew we could get home. Nice idea to just stay put but we didn't want to lose our jobs if we were stuck for another week.Re: Are You, Or Have You Ever Been A Panic Buyer?
