No crisis. Storm in a tea cup it will pass*
Tesla Facebook groups are full of smug owners declaring what a choice and enjoying the 'drama'. *my MashinBenzin Covid statement moment. I hope not!

Just when I think people can't get any more stupid, they manage it yet again!
Seems no one learnt anything from last year and the toilet roll/pasta/tinned goods shortages.  |

Going to Marshal at a race event this weekend, so obviously, a Critical Occupation.
Went to fill up and had to queue for 15 minutes for fuel. Half the pumps out of service....luckily all the Super Unleaded ones were working, so I was able to "jump the queue" 😀 |

Panic buying in Didcot today, with long queues out of each station.

Just back from Tesco's for a food shop (panic buying wine, but that's to do with it being the weekend and kids being home. Every Friday is panic wine day!)
Massive queues for fuel there. Obviously I just sailed past for a good EV parking spot and plugged in for some free electricity. Interestingly the Shell that's <0.5 miles away, but is a good 4-5p/litre more expensive, was very quiet. So the panic buyers can't be that desperate!

Grant Shapps is "moving heaven and earth" to sort the problem out, apparently
 I won't say any more about our esteemed Minister for Transport or anything about his equally talented and competent cabinet colleagues as I don't want to be responsible for this thread being deleted

Daughter got £105 in her GLE as she was on fumes so at least we will have one car we can all use next week.... Apparently they are prioritising motorways so I will no doubt fill up with V Power on the motorway at about 1.70 a litre - will give me something to moan about anyway! The people of this country really do seem to be a bunch of selfish cockwombles.... |

"Logistics groups and food industry bodies have pleaded with the government to create a temporary visa scheme – or add HGV drivers to its skills shortage jobs list – to allow EU workers to help fill the shortfall" - today in The Independent
This has been going on for months. Watch this space, the govt will do a U-turn here......

I don't know why this hasn't dawned on me before... All we need to do is agree on a product and subsequent manufacturer to buy shares in, we can then all go out and spread the news there is a shortage.
Send a picture of an empty shelf of the product with the label obviously to the BBC,sky,daily mail and sit back. We can just take all the product off one, take a photo and put it all back. Just blame it on hauliers, brexit, covid etc bobs your uncle demand through the roof, share price up and we all cash in! |
