HAVING arrived back on Thursday 29 from the USA I am bemused to find details of the situation which happened at petrol stations in Southbourne, Bournemouth and Christchurch on March 29, filling the pages of the national newspapers on Friday 30.

Do the people who spent hours queuing to buy petrol, when there is a non-existent petrol crisis, have nothing else to do? How sad!
