RE: Sheeple panic buying fuel
Be careful with your choice of words here.
Sheeple buying fuel is panic buying is it. they are buying in case it runs out and they don't want to do without. they are preparing.
When we buy it it is preparing as well.
What is the difference?

When the majority do it its panic buying
when we do it, due to our low numbers its prepping
just chucking it in there

RE: Sheeple panic buying fuel
Easy we buy when its cheap (ish) plentyful and not in short supply, We cache fuel in advance of a crisis, we are no where near the petrol station when TSHTF. Sheeple hurtle down to Tesco at the last moment fill any available container and usually causing local chaos.
We get ours in well in advance when its not in short supply

I like "Buy it when it's £1.38 a litre and not when it's £2.78 a litre"

Sounds good but I was down topping my tank up anyway. Baa.

Don't own a vehicle, but I 'spose I'd better go and buy me new walking boots, then. There could be a rush on them too!
