Re: Panic buying in shops due to weather
It does make me laugh when i go to the local sainsburys and see all the muppets stocking up as though they won't be able to get out for the next six months. Seriously some people in the UK need to get a grip and realise that we are talking about a few days when things might not be delivered on time and even then there is usually plenty in stock. Media does play a big part how they love trying to terrify everyone and the only thing that is sadder then that is the growing number who seem happy to be paniced at the slightest thing.
While i don't think we should pay out for all the cold weather kit many other countrys have i am sure there is a middle ground to this as there usually is with all things and putting the old agreement back in place where local firms and farmers would be out clearing roads and suchlike in these conditions seems a simple one to me. Should we limit what people can buy no not really because then us reasonable people wouldn't have so much to laugh at when we go about our usual routines.
As far as the media go i really hope someone with a pair either above or below the waist gets a grip on the in this country soon because they have a lot to answer for in the way they hype up the silliest thing getting people worried about it.
