Petrol Queues.

  1. She would argue that she had access to all the ppe when others didn't. Also got vaccinated early. She'd say it goes with the job. She gets paid for a job she enjoys for the most part, and exposure to things goes with the territory. It's not like she was sweeping the roof in Chernobyl.
    Anyhow it's nice of you to say so, but the entire workforce did their bit, and I just don't think it's right singling any one group out.

  2. my daughter, youngest has spent the last 14 months in A&E. first year introduction to being a Doctor straight out of Med school. Very large, very busy Northwest hospital. Certainly grown up rapidly. Her vocation, as she says her choice. Proud of all of my litter. Have to say that, they will chose my care home:)

  4. there are no spare drivers on the continent, 400k short. they are expeiriancing the same shortages there as here. said the minister on BBCScot this morning.
     
  5. Rolleyes.
    Surely most see this for the lies that they are.
    The BBC are currently scouring the continent looking for a closed petrol station, or even a broken pump. Anything will do

  6. I filled up my Discovery with Diesel yesterday afternoon at our local Morrisons, which is my usual outlet anyway.

    The queue was right around the perimeter of their sizeable car park, and I estimated that there were over 50 vehicles in the queue.
    However, it was like a military operation with at least 4 Morrisons staff involved.
    In Total from joining the back of the queue to driving off the forecourt again was @35mins, and as I'd saved some work phone calls to make it made little difference to my day.
    There were no restrictions on the amount you could put in, so I topped the Disco up with £82 worth.

    Once the forecourt was reached a member of staff asked which fuel you needed, and what side your filler cap is. I was then directed to a queue for an individual pair of pumps.
    But here's the good bit. The inconsiderate lady in the car in front of me at the pump finished filling up, then opened her boot and started mucking about with her handbag instead of driving away.
    Immediately a member of staff approached her, pointed to the queue behind her and said something to hurry her along.

    So, we all know what has caused these issues, but I honestly can't fault Morrisons reaction to it.

  8. Delivered:astonished: that's decadence for you.

    We're so addicted to Costa Latte we use their capsules in our coffee machine.
    It's almost as good as the real thing.

    In fact it's near enough 11.00hrs for me to have another.

  10. aye, you would think so. and tbf, i am fairly certain the majority up here do see what the BBC are upto, at least where brexit is concerned. i would of thaught the first words out of the normally agressive and hostile Garry Robertsons mouth would of been, the EU is 10x bigger. the uk has 25% of the shortages. but nah, another tory soft interview.
     
  11. No potatoes in my local supermarket! No fresh bread deliveries this morning. Doomed, we’re all doomed. Bloody delivery drivers dropping off coffees to peoples doors. When I was a lad coffee came in glass bottles with Camp on the label and was made from chicory. Biscuits were eaten with bully beef in a hole in the ground.
    Off for my Latte and pain au chocolat now. Chin chin:)
    Ps my birthday tomorrow. Gift vouchers welcome, prefer Waitrose.
