There should be a limit on how many cans people fill, but would you, as a cashier, challenge any1?  This reminds me of the 1980s - my parents had to stay on a campsite in the Brecon area 2 weeks longer than planned due to no fuel.  ⛽️

We've just come back from our holiday. Hadn't heart about the panic buying of fuel until the day before we were due to come home. We didn't go far on our last day and managed to find a small village garage on the way back to fill up so we could get home. We arrived back to queues at every garage causing tailback on the road 😨😨

I bought £20 worth this morning which was all they allow (no queuing).  While I was paying a man in a big posh 4 x 4 interrupted and asked the woman on the till whether he could have more petrol as “I have to get back to London”.  She just said “No”.    he wasn’t best pleased and went off in a strop.  I called to collect my prescription nearby and then drove on to supermarket about 10 miles away and there was the man filling up at another petrol station!!

Was there a limit there, I hope so  ;D

I can manage without most items other than 'kleenex', bananas, oats and Coke

Apparently a lot of 'c.mas' gifts are stuck at Felixstowe - so toys might be in short supply.  Look out for queues and panic buying  ;D
