More driver shortages. Wonder what the pay is for driving a bomb around making deliveries.
According to this £35k https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-...

That is dated 2012.. With current driver shortages, I suspect it's quite a bit more than that currently - There was an article in the news recently saying that Waitrose/Tesco amongst others were offering around £55k https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-...

The issue started last week at my local BP forecourt with super diesel and unleaded.
We really are having a throw back to the 70's at the moment.
Funny what happens when you reset your trading and migration relationships with your nearest neighbours and closest partners to what they were in the 70s. Who could ever have predicted that.We really are having a throw back to the 70's at the moment.

Not really .We really are having a throw back to the 70's at the moment.
We're not forced to work a 3 day week to ration electricity.
If only there was a type of car where the energy required to power it could be delivered seamlessly via pipe, or maybe even a wire direct to your house ?
Wouldn't that be marvelous and obviate the need for massive lorries towing huge containers of extremely volatile liquid petrochemical products, just plug it in when you aren't using it and come back to it and its ready to go.

I’m not seeing any problems at the pumps ( yet ) Kingsbury refinery isn’t too far away so maybe I won’t see too much of a problem with fuel.
Speaking of Kingsbury refinery and wages !
They are looking for a couple of tanker drivers and are paying 50k p/a plus bonus schemes and retention schemes.

Boring nitpicking from me, but Kingsbury doesn’t have a refinery. Rather, it’s a collection of terminals all broadly next to each other. Speaking of Kingsbury refinery and wages !
