Ok, I'll come and collect your Transit tomorrow, you obviously don't need it. I didn't say trees aren't important, they quite clearly are but without transport we are all be knackered.
-
I didn't think I'd get a reply to this @devon TWiG, if a tree job goes wrong it affects very few people, normally. If transport goes wrong it affects millions of people, the government have a responsibility to make sure it doesn't go wrong. If that means putting pressure on the road haulage industry to pay more then that's what they should have done along with providing proper facilities for drivers.

Are we clapping for petrol station workers at 8PM on Wednesday?

Needs a tweak? In my outlook I'm a socialist, it doesn't mean I think people should be able sponge off the rest of us. The Conservatives, in my lifetime have never wanted essential industries state owned. Water, gas, electricity, not to mention housing all flogged off to the highest bidder.

Yes I agree, you seem to think you are the only one to know it though. 'We've' been played for time immemorial.

‘Brexit going really well actually’ insists government with no fuel, energy, food, workers, border control or trade deals NEWSTHUMP.COM Brexit is actually going really well so far insisted the government today, as the country runs out of fuel, food...
-
I took your advice, unfortunately it's not hitting home. You can do without fuel for now so you haven't filled up, many need fuel, they are struggling to get it because the half tankers who don't really need are topping up. Or have I got this all wrong?
-
Is that muddled, or am I reading it wrong? You don't have to travel so you haven't filled up. If everyone in a similar situation to you did the same there wouldn't be panic buying.
-
What are the chances of everyone and his dog desperately needing fuel today?
-
He'll be all over it like a rash.

Sudbury bp today.
-
Don't worry about it, just crack on and sell a few loads.
-
I that was correct it would be great, drivers left in their droves because the pay and facilities were shit. Talking to our kid, the money isn't bad but the facilities and the way drivers are treated in RDC's is diabolical.
-
Why do we have a minister for transport and no minister for tree surgeons?
-
Governments for years have known there is/was a massive shortage of drivers and did nothing about it, like most things they only sort stuff out when the muck hits the spinny round thing.
-
What's the point in ministers telling the public not to panic if the message isn't relayed to the public? We'd all be up in harms, saying things like, we are being kept in the dark, when it was leaked.
-
When the Secretary of State for Transport comes out and says there is no need to panic over fuel shortages it causes panic. Anyway, there was no diesel available at Tesco today so I bought 100 bog rolls instead.
-
How about bringing the military in to drive trucks in the short term, there must be tons of military personnel who have hgv licenses.
-
Yes, monkey dust and spice. £2/hit I'm told, madness but that's what happens when places get rundown, unfortunately.
-
To be fair I'm not interested, I'll run on red if there is no white diesel available. We have had a massive shortage of drivers for years, but the Europeans naffing off with no one to replace them hasn't helped the situation. The money is there for drivers now but there are few facilities available for them. I can see why people wouldn't want the job.
-
It's getting like that in parts of S-o-T, not on that scale but it's getting there.
-
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.
-
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.
