Panic Buying
It's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

PS Hemel on FIRE
Not panic, but correct judgment.
Upon Leaving Herts for the Tyne this Chrimble eve I had 'pre-planned' my petrol purchase.
Upon Leaving, and indead, returning, forcourts were displaying signes such as 'No Unleaded, but shop open'.
Poor bastards who headed official advice and DIDN'T panic buy for their long chrimble jaunts.
Ha!
PS (I have recently watched 'Threads' so I know the signs)
