Didnt they also so it wasnt a problem and today BoJo has said the problems will continue till christmas?
Almost like Bee is responsible for the Govt messaging on this
They will be on standby and will also undertake ADR training to ensure that they meet the same requirements as existing tanker drivers. On a separate, but closely linked issue, there are also discussions to bring in Military LGV Driving Test Examiners to help reduce the backlog of LGV tests.ronk said:

But they arent in Afghanistan , thank god. But they are sitting in barracks wondering what to do tomorrow, so as a tax payer, I think its wise to get them working, if we need them as it costs us no different ?BeeEmm said:
again today passed two local Sainsbury's, a Tesco and a Morrisons. All had cars happily filling up and no queues whatsoever.
PS Can't understand some petrol stations applying a maximum spend per customer which allows some idiots as Colin_E refers to keep topping up their tank? Surely the better policy would be implementing a minimum spend of say £40 or £50 per car which would make it uneconomical to do anything put purchase fuel in the normal way?

At the summit of the picturesque fens
A £40/ 50 min spend would certainly deter the top up / keep if full morons 
When paying at the pump the card is currently authorised to £99 before filling so I’m sure the min spend could be simply implemented!
I was considering hibernating my car at the end of this month but it’s only got half a tank and I’m not inclined to go and fill it at this time - I reckon I will leave it taxed until the end of October. Hopefully things will have improved and it will go tö bed for the winter with a full tank as usual.

Should be plenty of lorry drivers around by then :wink:
But their average age is 55, so they will be 68 or so by then, no good for Sars 8)
When I was younger, you boys had this saying under 16 protected by law over 65 protected by nature, I wonder by 2034 whether I will actually care :idunno:
