I see the queues at Dover are being blamed on Easter holidaymakers 

Typical. Only us Brits would decide to go on holiday in a HGV.

 

To be fair, the whole of East Kent seems to be screwed at the moment because of operation brock, the whole county is gridlocked coast-bound and whilst it's not the full story holidaymakers do exacerbate an already difficult situation; https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/operation-brock-explained-brought-traffic-6923995

I've had to driven through villages and B roads to avoid getting stuck the past week. That really helps keeping the petrol bills down...

The Easter break always results in a huge surge of traffic on the UKs roads. The AA estimates that 30,000,000 drivers are expected to hit the roads this Easter - many of them heading to the continent.

That's got to be bollocks surely......30 million drivers on the road, with many heading to Europe? - I'm not having that

Dunno - ask the AA who they quote

All i know is that as drivers try and avoid brock, they are snarling up other roads - getting into Canterbury and around Faversham was taking two hours on Saturday (thankfully I had to pick up the eldest from Bessells Green so avoided it)

It was mentioned in another article that a new IT system to handle freight at the ports has had some teething problems. Hopefully Chris Grayling had fuck all to do with this.

I heard it should be back online at the same time as the new Technology being used on the Irish border is fully operational

Put your house on Le Pen winning

aye

Brexit wasn't meant to win

neither was Trump

I saw last night it's about 28% to Macron and 23% to Le Pen

no doubt there'll be plenty French laying in wait to cast a vote for something different

Kent has a bit of a little Englander heart beat. I’m sure they’ll be loving these secretly.

Said this a few times now. Would be a lot more interesting if you could find an article of them telling the truth and following it through.

He is one useless lying twat. Beggars belief that so many are still being taken in by Tory bullshit.

Interesting? 

It'd be remarkable if you could find one.

He couldn't come up on Tuesday, because there was no diesel for miles.

Brother in Law drove up from Cambridge yesterday, helped himself to some roast pork and filled his car up with diesel

Indeed, a lot of the places near me have sold out of Diesel. Petrol is no problem, just Diesel it seems

Possible more demand since the red diesel ban last week? 
I don’t know that, just a presumption , know we ordered 30000 Ltr of white that we wouldn’t normally and that’ll be an ongoing situation now so possibly struggling to keep up with demand while everyone gets their tanks flushed and changed

West Kent doesn't, some of the more rural.parts of east Kent might do, but that's also like saying all Lancasterians are whippet owning Mill workers.
