What generally leads to panics at the forecourt, on supermarket shelves, on the beaches and on the landing grounds is discussion (such as this) that there is no panic.
As soon as politicians claim that there are no shortages then there will be shortages. Perhaps I am making things worse by contributing!
I defer to my colleague, Clive Dunn in this matter who, on several occasions told us that "They don't like it up 'em" as well as not to panic.
