Covid?

Brexit?

Both?

I notice it’s taken McDonald’s to run out of milkshakes for it to actually cause people to lose their shit.

I read that 14,000 EU lorry drivers left jobs in the UK since brexit, and only 600 have returned.

Covid caused loss of tests to be cancelled.

I'm surprised your massive, shiny winklepickers allow you to even use an accelerator and brake pedal without causing a crash.

I like to think that NiC normally rides around on a Penny Farthing, when he has no fuel for his motorised vehicle

 

Saaaarrrfff London suburbs, innt? All white van drivers, builders and small time crooks round here.

That's why winklepickers are so useful - helps you dismount easily.

Someone on our local community group is having a real issue with petrol, normally she'd get the bus but her 7 year old daughter as her chemo appoitment at the hospital and needs to drive her there.

Thankfuly people are generally nice and we're are paying for an uber back and someone is dropping them off.

Its getting realy bad here, as more and more people run out and can't drive around looking. Apparently most ran out at around 8 this morning with huge queues.

The army is being deployed to drive tankers. I hope the drivers don’t mind the facilities being worse than downtown Kabul.

You're right, I've got to stop being such a negative nelly. Our great nation was not built on moaning. I'm sure one of our engineering lads will sort out an engine that can run for a month on a fiver's worth of petrol by the end of the week.

Best calm myself and get on with blowing me flute.

Can you not play the flute for someone in exchange for a gallon of unleaded?

For balance 😎

There’s no queues in civilized areas without a high propensity of retards either

Job for Boris.

Saw this the other day.  A Polish lorry driver who was based here and his view on the issues.  It prompted 2 thoughts - 1) Why would anyone want to be a lorry driver and 2) We're fecked.

Reading that lot, it is no wonder there is a shortage, what a fucking shit job to have

Military officially being deployed to get fuel delivered.

Weird, because Boris and co. said the other day this absolutely wouldn’t happen.

A unique lie which blemishes this cabinet’s otherwise Snow White service to the country.

Seems an over reaction, but it’s 2021 and that’s where we are.
