With yet another media scarefest blowing up an impending issue that will pass with a whimper again, of course there’s another faddy trend of panic buying consumer items. This time, it’s air fryers.

Countless TV and radio spots, lazy local news pieces and national news pieces trying to sell them, hell one paper’s even giving them away. Needless to say, they’d been cleared off the shelves at Tesco when I was doing the big shop. Even my mother has bought one.

At least the Guardian has been right about something for once.
