Inside lane of one of the UK’s busiest roads is full of frustrated motorists waiting for a turn at the pump

My post wasn’t directed at you particularly - rather the pretty lazy references to “panic buyers” that are all over the place, and blaming them (along with the media and that bloke from the RHA) for the crisis.
If you look at a queue of cars waiting at a petrol station, how do you decide which are “panic buyers” and which are “legitimate”? And if a “legitimate buyer” is panicking slightly because they are in the red, does that make them a panic buyer?
The attached article is interesting. As far as I can see no one in the queue admits to being a panic buyer. No one on this board who admits they’ve filled their car in the last few days will admit to being a panic buyer. Nor, I imagine, will anyone who fills their car in the coming days.
Yet loads of people are certain the panic buyers are to blame for it all.
