offered in the UK

Those coming in from the eu probably don’t even have the proper licences to drive on our roads

The question is why is it we need foreign drivers why haven’t we got uk drivers

A myriad of reasons ..including you have to be over 25 to be taken on

Testing is expensive

The DVLA have been hiding behind covid and are on strike more often than not so backlogs are huge

Brexit

Covid

Plus it’s not an attractive job for many

We philled up last night (nothing to do with panic buying, we always do a supermarket run on a Friday night ) and Tesco had run out, but Morrison’s was fine and didn’t even have a queue. Hmmmm.

I read somewhere that supermarket petrol is slightly poorer quality to the ‘proper’ fuel stations .. beggars can’t be choosers though

to help ease the pressure
Desperate motorists have been pictured

LBC Live Reporter in London, Brixton
is in a queue, estimating another 45mins until he can buy some fuel.
Before 6AM they started

[It is illegal to store petrol at home
in a jerry can because by law the
fuel must be kept in small quantities.
Either a metal 10-litre container or a
five-litre plastic one can be used.

Both have to carry a notice reading 'Highly Flammable'
and the maximum amount that can
be kept at home in total is 30 litres.

It is illegal to use 20-litre jerry can containers
because the fuel must not be stored in
such a large quantity in one vessel.]

From Ch4HDnews
A Transport manager has had lots of Contact with Polish Drivers
as they want to come back to the UK to work.

From my local Facebook group:

"So, after seeing the news last night about fuel shortages, I popped in to Tesco at 0530
when I should have been sleeping! I spoke to a very nice tanker driver who was rather
informative and told me that the boats carrying fuel are arriving daily at Plymouth, the
two depots in Plymouth are extremely well stocked and there is no shortage of drivers.
His only concern was news articles misleading the public. He finished by explaining that
it is only BP who have issues. Back to bed...."
