More shortages

It's supply and demand applied with a sledge-hammer unfortunately - taking 1-2m out of the labour market that there doesn't seem to be a short- medium term solution for is going to take a lot of correcting.    

  

On the other side society is designed for mass car use as well, not as bad as in America but still there. No thought to any other type of infrastructure at all.

Don't worry the Baroness is working on it

Give it a month for the end of furlough to bite as essentially those still on it are probably in roles that are no longer viable and we'll have draconian narrative on getting all the work shy lazy bastard unemployed back working like it's a zero sum game.

Radio Scotland this morning had a reporter saying all sorts of pumps closed etc in Glasgow but went to Killie and no queues and all pumps open. Ayrshire folk are chill. Weegies are grasping, greedy, selfish fuckers. In my experience.

Tractors do have better fuel economy than vehicles driven by normal people, tbf. 🚜

Plenty of pumps open here AFAIK, except for the posh premium petrol, (meaning my motor's had to make do with cooking petrol this month).

Is there any rhyme or reason to where the fuel shortages are actually affecting?  I had 60 mile left in the tank and the nearest fuel station is 15-20 miles away in Arbroath so thought I would be in for a massive queue yesterday but there was absolutely nobody else there.     

They were saying Scotland wasn't as bad especially outside the Central belt. Obviously we are smarter up here  😊
