Boris tells us not to panic over fuel shortage, guess what... there is NO fuel in Sudbury unless you drive an emergency vehicle. Red diesel it is then.

I went to the bakers earlier a journey that normally takes me 20 minutes there and back, over an hour today because everywhere is backed up with traffic trying to get in to petrol stations.

MSM this morning J 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️as someone else on here said they can literally make something out of nothing. Having it front and centre this morning all over every network and then saying don’t bulk or panic buy the outcome was predictable. Wagon driver shortage has been building for years, sadly in multiple interviews this  morning it seemed the only answer the media could come up with was fetch in foreign labour. Short term fixes and cheap labour are not the answer I’d say, train people and look long term. Regards Xmas etc a few less wagonloads of cheap Chinese shit and a few less turkeys on the plates wont harm anyone, consumerism and wanting the next best thing is to blame for a lot of what’s wrong today.

You still running that V10 eco wagon 😳

MSM again? How about the government who are known liars keeping it shut, don't panic people leads to panic. Also it's not so easy to get tanker drivers, my brother is a driver who looked into getting ADR qualified, if he could, which he can't find anywhere to do the training it would take weeks if not months.

It's getting like that in parts of S-o-T, not on that scale but it's getting there.
