if I try a few garages at midnight... will I have any joy ?
I thought you'd be after petrol, not joy.if I try a few garages at midnight... will I have any joy ?
Then most western governments must be inept as they are in the same position. The Road Haulage Association has estimated that up to 20,000 HGV drivers from the EU left during the Brexit process, but we have a shortage in this country of circa 100,000 drivers. Poland currently has a shortage of 123,000 lorry drivers, Germany around 60,000, France 40,000, Spain and Italy, 15,000 each, USA 100,000, China 4m.
Been widely reported recently via Road Haulage Association, relevant trade press etc. Not my fault the facts don't suit your narrative
Media broadcast a fact and it causes numpties to top up their tanks.
They haven’t scaremongered. They reported a truth.
It shows that people are selfish, scared and don’t believe a word of what is being said by anyone.
Looks like you are quite right, a total balls up entirely of our own making.They’re in the same position in terms of shortage of numbers, they’re not in terms of the impacts being felt from it though, in part due to other factors in the supply chain caused by brexit.
