Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

Earlier thus yearI decided to drive, Lands End to John O'Groats via every mainland county in the UK. I couldn't have chosen a worst time as petrol went up to £1 a litre.
Panic buying was a problem, until I got to Scotland where no one was panicing. It was more like, no petrol = no work = time off.
The company I work for, still has two drums of diesel sitting in a field somewhere.
