From petrol pumps to beer taps – it’s time to panic buy
AMID the misery of massive queues for the petrol forecourt and “sold out” signs at many stations, at least one retailer has kept a sense of humour – and marketing initiative.

It reminds The Capitalist of an equally catchy butcher’s slogan years ago as Watership Down was released. “You’ve read the book, you’ve seen the movie…now try our pies,” it urged.
