With all the talk of driver shortages, you’d think that companies would have loads of wagons sat empty in their yards, not moving because of the lack of a driver to take it anywhere. But almost no companies actually have any empty wagons.
So why do we have all the shortages of food and fuel, why is Christmas going to be ruined, and why are we about to apparently run out of beer?
It all goes to show just how much this country relied on not just foreign drivers but also foreign vehicles, carrying out cabbotage runs while in this country. Without all that extra workforce, the transport industry has seemingly collapsed.
Think about it, how many European wagons have you seen this week? Maybe a handful? They used to be bloody everywhere, hell, Warberers were almost as common a sight as a Stobarts wagon and yet I’ve not seen one for months!
Harry Monk:
It’s strange how these supermarket food shortages only seem to affect the shops that Remoaners use.
Good point Harry :
“WHO?? has warned that supermarket shelves could stay empty in the months ahead, sparking fears of shortages in the run-up to Christmas” yorkshirepost.co.uk/read-th … es-3388812
Who knew? Johnson is a Remoaner, then?
Waberer’s majority shareholder is CEE Holdings BV which in turn is owned by private equity Mid Europa Partners and they own 72 % of Waberers shares and are open to bids. The CEO quit in March and they posted a 22.2 million euro loss for the fourth quarter.
Euro website says they are reducing the fleet and cutting costs and staying in Europe more.

If the supermarkets stop selling boxes of chocolates they might have enough trucks and drivers to move some actual food!!
you mean chocolate and wine/beer isnt food■■?
Or how about cheap plastic halloween tat!
Cheap, plastic halloween tat is used to celebrate (albeit an American) event. If you are prepared to forgo such tat, maybe the commies are already here! Get in line wearing your grey coveralls for your greul…

Indeed.
Perhaps go further? Get rid of anything deemed fun and frivolous? Supermarkets could just stock one type of something? Get rid of alcohol too because that’s not needed.

Or increase the stocks of cheap booze. Soma for the proles. If I can mix my references
msgyorkie:
So some prefer to see shelves stocked with Halloween tat that is 3 weeks early rather than see food on sale■■?
Maybe there should be supplies, and deliveries, of both essentials and non-essentials?
Im sure some will want to channel the Blitz Spirit (especially those who werent there) but dont we want something more than survival? We arent at war, so should we be subject to shortages?
