The one sure-fire way to get people to panic buy anything? tell them not to. We saw two petrol stations full of cars today, and we live about 20 miles from a huge petrol depot that’s not on strike.

So..

Don’t panic, there is no need to rush, I haven’t spoken to Waterstones but I am sure they will have enough copies of my new book, “Look Stupid… Just buy it – the idiots guide to buying without thinking” (£25.99)- there will be more than enough copies to go around, I repeat don’t panic!
