A lot of the panic buying took place on Thursday, prior to the snowfall. My local Asda said it was chaos that day, yet I popped in on Friday afternoon, it was quiet and the shelves were all full again.
Part of the problem is that we have become a ' snowed in, can't get to work ' culture...i.e the slightest opportunity and people will stay at home. All major roads were fine on Friday and most minor ones were passable. It was only the side-roads that posed a problem. " Can't even get out my road "...is a favourite one. I run my own distribution business. All my staff got in on Friday and we managed to get all our deliveries done. There were problem areas but we got by.
Stock-piling food makes no sense. Do these people think they are going to be trapped in their homes for a week. Mind you, if they aren't working, then I suppose they are going to be sitting in the warm watching tv.
Keep calm, Mr. Mainwaring.
