This isn’t about voting to leave the EU causing it, as scozza rightly said below, we have a country full of lazy ****s.

I specialise in Velux windows, Velux are having supply issues because the warehouse staff were all Eastern European, because of covid they all went home to be with their families and because of brexit can’t get back. Now, in the warehouse, despite there being loads of jobs available for £10ph, they can’t fill them because the English don’t want to do the graft. That is a fact, I’m feeling the supply issues because of it.

were driven by people who were employed to do that?

Bit of a misconception there. You are on about a time when people wanted to work, why would they want to be cleaners, waiters and lorry drivers, it’s below them (not that they have the skills or right attitude). What a mess, what a shower of ****. Foreign lorry drivers go home and we are ****ed, embarrassing really?

**** all the lazy ****s off abroad, bring back foreigners

Jon didn't. He's still in the EU

Could be argued that the rest of did though...

Remember when the army did being the army and fuel lorries and ambulances were driven by people who were employed to do that?

Wasn't aware of any vote this, think you must have some odd dreams.

I'm hoping a spark sets the stockpiled bog rolls up in flames and blows the stockpiled petrol up

Wouldn’t that be nice

Sounds a real pain.

Does knowing that it's what 52% voted for make it easier to accept?

So many ****s topping the tank up with a few litres and filling gerry cans up
All my local supermarkets have forecourts, gotta sit in the fuel queue for an hour to get to the car park

No different to most things in life, selfish ****s and panic buying go had in hand

Was at a petrol station the other day, **** in front of me filled his car up and two massive green army type gerry cans, what a ****er ✊💦💦

And as for local stations banging 10p a litre on, stop using them, the greedy ****s, one near me I have not used it for years for that reason

Don't say that Jon, I have to try and fill up tomorrow, otherwise I will not be going angling next week. I was alright last week so have not needed to go near a garage. I need to now though. I was hoping it would be over by now.

I drove from tower bridge road right back to West Sussex before finding a station with fuel yesterday, it was carnage on the way to work, took me three and a half hours because of idiots gridlocking roads anywhere near a forecourt with fuel.

Be sure to avoid south, east and north London as well as Essex. The ****s outnumber the litres of fuel and available road surface. Ideal if you want a fist fight or a dent in your bodywork

Everywhere I’ve come across has imposed a £30 limit on fuel, all it is doing is making it seem like a rationing of fuel and also allowing people to keep topping up their tanks. More people on the forecourts again adds fuel to the fire of panic buying.

Every forecourt has an attendant guiding traffic to pumps so they need to either insist on checking the fuel gauge or imposing a minimum of £40/50 to refuel, it will stop all the idiots who only do school and shop runs constantly filling their tanks. Whilst peoples tanks are being run down before they can fill up again, it’ll allow the tankers to catch up and get more stations refuelled. At the moment, as soon as somewhere has fuel delivered, everyone flocks there and it’s empty within a few hours!
