Re: Panic Buying?
Could it have something to do with the fact that people are sheep and are easily led? The person on the "lifestyle" show of your choice says go out and buy and off they all toddle to waste their time in endless queues to purchase stuff they do not need but belive they must have?

Re: Panic Buying?
lt is very strange that we do this. lt's the same at Christmas, people stock up like we're about to endure a siege. l think we've got so used to 24/7 [God, l hate that phrase,] society that any closure brings out a wartime mentality.
Thank goodness the Asian shop on the corner isn't closed for Easter, otherwise l'd have been out stockpiling Marlboro Lights yesterday!

Re: Panic Buying?
I was in town yesterday Thursday, and thought it was great to see so many people about and the shops doing well, the shame of it is that at one time Accrington on market days Tuesday, Fridays and Saturdays it used to be like that all the time.

Re: Panic Buying?
I went to Asda yesterday;not panic buying but just getting some jeans for daughter instead of chocolate! It was absolutely mental in there;I think most people thought it would be shut today and developed the old "siege mentality!" Good grief,it was worse than Xmas.

Re: Panic Buying?
I can't understand why they are not open today ( Sunday ).
Not all of us are religious but yet we have it forced upon us everywhere we turn.

Re: Panic Buying?
It would be interesting to see what would happen if we had a food shortage! I think shops are open 362 days a year so why the panic? I bet all the bread went!
 It's just one of life's puzzles to me that bread is always the first thing to be snapped up on bank holidays!

Re: Panic Buying?
Maybe people like to laze in bed eating toast on Bank Holidays.
