It does seem a bit “lucky” that the pingdemic has coincided with this year’s sunny spell. Bit like the coincidence of a terrible bout of sickness striking railway staff on the day of the Euro2020 final

Hmmm, a thread about panic buying and you were in Asda and Sainsburys yesterday.
Interesting.
Many visits a week boringly, every week, I’m the bloke keeping this high consumption household going, plus I was buying holiday bits.
We try the one big shop at Aldi thing, but they lack so many items.

I saw a complete tip and remembering how the numbnuts destroyed their own town in 2011, made an informed guess.

In fairness, (if people bothered to read news on the haulage industry going back years and not simply focus on the latest media frenzy on driver shortage and empty shelves) it is easy to find numerous articles on how there are many drivers fed up with the poor pay and working conditions over a long period. Drivers appear to have been leaving the industry for ages, and its by no means limited to the UK. Its a global issue.
We seem to have hit a perfect storm here though with covid pinging, new drivers not getting qualified, drivers leaving the industry because they are fed up and European drivers who were based here simply sodding off back to Europe when covid hit and transport links and work dried up.
Should the 3000 who have said they will down tools strike? Difficult one.
It couldnt come at a worse time but they can hardly be blamed for chancing their arm when its probable that action (now at this time)would get the highest attention.
