@davereimer the national representatives for British haulage say we're 100,000 drivers short

2 months isn't good! What is the US doing to deal with the issue?

@bethany We can hope

@bethany but you do have pudding, chips and gravy...anything south of stoke and it becomes watery, gloopy brown stuff, pies and, well, sometimes chips...ask for a pudding and you'll get stared at like you just said you're not getting vaccinated 😜 😂

@bethany awesome!

While out and about on a mountain bike ride, Andy B stopped to rest under a tree.
Ok, so there wasn’t much resting due to the rather unexpected low flying helicopters and Andy’s rather excited enjoyment of them.

But, Andy was struck that he hadn’t showered for a few days, nor shaved. Simply because while he’d kept meaning to, things kept stopping him.

He was waiting until his next mountain bike ride, but when that hadn’t happened for a few days, it was becoming rather obvious that he hadn’t shaved.

And in life there are often consequences to those things that we fail to do. Consequences which, just like Andy B’s beard, demonstrate that something hasn’t happened.

@bethany my understanding is that the SE is an utter nightmare......

@bethany Hows the north doing?

@bethany Our local garage doesn't seem to have any restrictions at present, although it might be out - I didn't look super closely as I was cycling past few earlier..

Our local, bigger, Tesco had queues of about 60-80 cars.......that was two days ago

I posted a little while ago about the crisis regarding a shortage of truck drivers in the UK, & asking me to go back

All I can say is I have a clean licence, time motivation, essential experience, am old enough, and have opportunity. I just don't have the stupid [EU legacy nonsense] CPC card (the one that lets you use the licence, that lets you use your driving licence - yep, that one)

I contacted some haulage firms, as did a friend of a friend, all of whom are DESPERATE for drivers.

But, it seems, that hauliers aren't interested in people like me. You know, over 25 years old, more than 2 years experience, and with a clean licence, and the opportunity to help the nation out during this crisis. I didn't even get replies from the ones I either phoned and had a telephone conversation with, or wrote to.

Can you think of any other situations recently where the government and media may have, similarly, magnified a real, but 'overcomeable' problem, into a global crisis?

A favourite postal delivery 🙂
