Making the news today....

All this about lorry driver shortage in fuel industry, it doesn't suddenly happen unless someone in admin makes a big cock up with holiday time off.

Been out today, Diesel and petrol for the mill. Filled up at Buckie no queue no hassle. Absolute media driven shit of the highest order swallowed sadly by way too many.

Aberdeenshire to Shrewsbury 🤷‍♂️ too far, and by the sounds of it the panicking masses have listened to the news and emptied the tanks. Not to worry a handful of cheap Eastern European drivers will instantly solve the non crisis, or it will solve itself when the media move onto something else.

Not as many as the press and politicians seem to think. Years and years of cuts have seen to that.

I reckon the 'fuel crisis' is there to distract us from the 'food crisis'.

Got stuck in traffic on my way to site yesterday because of people queuing at petrol stations, managed to head home missing them with a bit of route planning. Drove to Dorset for a weekend in the camper and every fuel station had cars queuing back onto the road, one was out of fuel entirely. People are bonkers.
