Also there appears to be a media blackout. This appears to be a busy forum and there is rumours about a media blackout, or "soft pedal" at least.


I'm personally very pleased that the BBC aren't going overboard on the story. My experience today with the press photographer shows that it is very easy for a story like this to get spun and blown out of all proportion, which will of course lead to panic buying and a "real" story...

Anyway, the BBC coverage looks fairly balanced, it isn't as if they are denying some garages have run dry:
