Shortage of turkeys for this xmas according to some suppliers .

Been to take the dog for a walk, the petrol station in a Warwick Bridge had a couple of covers over the diesel pump handles but no queues and petrol pumps with fuel but nobody at them.

Its alright the government has said there will be extra visas for the foreign turkeys. So they can drive the lorries.

No problems at all on Denmark.

Now would be an ideal opportunity for the government to start a job initiative and pay for people to take their HGV licence. They could get them through in a couple of months if they used the army facilities in Lecolnfield. There are not enough military HGV drivers to cover the shortfall, as has been suggested.

I do believe the driver training at Leconfield has gone, you no longer see hordes of terrified 17 year old squaddies clinging to the steering wheel for a white knuckle ride through Hull

I drove down the M1 to London from Coventry today. I noticed I had a lot more friends than usual in the "cars trundling along with the HGVs in lane 1" club. Also saw from the gantries that at least two service stations (Watford Gap and one other) were out of fuel.

Also came across a bunch of vehicles with streamers and stuff on the M25. A quick google (not by me I hasten to add) revealed they were a group of VW owners who do a charity rally driving round the M25 called "Ride the Ring". Rather unfortunate timing for a "burn fuel for charity" event.

"Ride the ring"? Sounds suspiciously like a gay dogging activity.

A couple of thoughts have occurred to me about all this, firstly thank you main stream media for creating this fuel shortage and panic buying, secondly just how much extra revenue revenue has Boris and his gang of corrupt dumbo’s raised due to the idiots who have caused this by panic buying and draining the storage tanks of fuel stations the length and breadth of the UK? Perhaps there’s some sort of a cunning plan to get some money in to the government’s coffers by working hand in hand with the various media outlets, just a thought, oh and while we’re at it, who on earth is going to let somebody loose in an HGV on Monday who passed their test last Friday, nobody’s going to do that, what’s the combined cost of a tractor unit and trailer? I’m guessing around £160,000 to £180,000 add in the ADR test, then let them loose in a moving bomb with 25,000 litres of petrol swishing around inside, it just ain’t happening.
Thank you to all you news outlets, you’ve screwed us all over once again

What we now need is forecourts to have a fuel sale. Just to piss off the numpties who’ve been queuing up unnecessarily this week.

 

[Drago]

The Mail have labelled this a "fuel crisis

I toom great delight in pointing out that fuel supplies are normal, and distribution js actually jear normal, with over 98% of forecourt receiving their scheduled deliverys, so it is clearly not a fuel crisis.

I suggested that they relabel it what it really is - an idiot crisis.

But all this panic buying has done is to empty the fuel stations early, they’ll have a pretty good idea of how much petrol and diesel they sell each week normally, but they’ve sold more than that in 3 days, the BBC, ITV and the papers need bringing to account about this, the thick chumps who fall for it never learn, our Tesco delivery man said they’d had one chump fill his car and four huge Jerry cans, and have had to close, but they all had to fill the vans at 6am that morning then shut the station again

 

[Dogtrousers]

I think it's my fault. Two weekends running I have been out in the car. This is most unusual and the extra stress it put on the supply chain was just too much. I don't have any driving planned for a few weeks, so things should return to normal now.
