Petrol station worker on 'unprecedented' fuel panic buying

Social media users have joked that Britons should carry out a 'clap for petrol' this week by applauding fuel station workers at 8pm on their doorsteps. One described the staff working amid the chaos as 'modern day Tommies' while others suggested singing 'God Save the Queen' while clapping every Thursday. It follows the weekly 'Clap for Carers' which quickly became a national pastime each Thursday at 8pm during the first coronavirus lockdown last year. Millions of people across the UK lined their thresholds, gathered on pavements and stood in their gardens to show their support for care staff and frontline workers. Some set off fireworks, honked their car horns and used kitchen utensils, with members of the Royal Family and Prime Minister Boris Johnson also joining in. It comes as the petrol station industry warned drafting in the Army to deliver fuel to sites will not on its own end the shortages on the forecourt.
