fuel drivers strike = food shortage?

[desprateseagull]

are shops going to have enough food for us, for the 4 days of strike? if delivery vans have no fuel..

 

[hans kraay fan club]

i doubt anyone will starve.

As long as Uncle Sams are well stocked i'll be ok

I think we will see a shortage of Spanish grown food. The blockades are potentially forcing BMW in Oxford to cease production as they can't gain access to key parts. I am sure the same will go for Spanish beans or whatever we import from them.

A summer of discontent all over the EU seemingly. Particularly Germany after their defeat to Croatia.

If fuel delivery vehicles don't delivery HOW WILL THE FUEL DELIVERY VEHICLES FILL UP WITH FUEL next week, nobody has thought of that have they, the whole world is about to end

Some shops will unduobtably run out of some things, because some IDIOTS will PANIC and buy up everything in sight, 'just in case'.

Because like the last blockade certain garage's are still stocked for essential workers, My job falls within that catagory as I would imagine food delivery lorry drivers would along with emergency services etc.

with only 1 in 10 petrol stations likely to be affected i doubt very much that it will have the knock on effect suggested.

I'm actually GUTTED today. I filled my car with diesel yesterday. Now everyone is queuing at the pumps and buying all the fuel, and I'm going to MISS OUT because I haven't got room in my tank for any.

I'm seriously considering a quick spin up to Manchester and back to use it all, so I can buy some before it runs out.

That sir is a cracking idea!!

Well I've stock up on toilet rolls

 

[cardboard]

Ive just stocked up on stock cubes..... well you never know

Don't worry. All the Range Rover drivers will be conserving fuel for essential needs, like driving the little darlings to school.

Supermarket carparks will be deserted, queues at the check-outs will be shorter, and there will be TONS of unsold food on the shelves for ordinary people.

About time someone realised railway workers are essential

Well working in a massive distribution centre for one of the major supermarkets I can say the chances of us running out of fuel in 4 days is non existant. We have more fuel tankage on site than 10 petrol stations and it only carries diesel. All topped up on a regular basis.

And yes food retail distribution staff (and depots) are in that catagory of "essential users".
