Sorting out the DVLA would be a good start. Thereâs a backlog of over 50k HGV licence applications.
Indeed.
Loved the driver waiting for a medical who said
"And yet they want to have Europeans to come along and do our drivingâŚ.â
(Ok, itâs a less xenophobic statement if you read the whole sentence 
)
From the a linked article on the LBC siteâŚ
LBC listeners have shared the impact the fuel panic-buying crisis has had on their lives throughout the week, as desperate motorists go to extreme lengths to fill their tanks.
âIâm not able to bring my daughter to school tomorrowâ, caller Sandra told Eddie Mair. âI havenât got enough petrol.â
The caller explained that the journey to her daughterâs school is a 60 mile round trip and as such she will be homeschooled until the panic-buying ends.
a) Itâs take not bring, how the hell can you home school your daughter when you canât even speak English properly?
b) Why is your daughter at a school 30 miles away, thatâs crazy?

Down to the last 3 gallons - enough for 100 miles
Not a drop in sight down here
Colleague managed to find some in Blackfield today - the car in front put ÂŁ4.30 in - thatâs not even a gallon FFS
Filled up with no queue in Glorious Shropshire today. And before you all start calling me a panic-buying antisocial wanker or worse, I have to go to Leeds and back this weekend so need my little tank full.

Found some petrol at Morrisonâs this afternoon - they were down to their last four pumps
The number of people who put in 15 or 20 quids worth is unbelievable- they are the reason I have to queue 30 minutes and that theee is no fuel for miles around
Uttter utter wankers

Tescos at Applemore petrol station was closed coming back through Blackfield people had started to queue up and only 2 pumps operating.
At neither was I attempting to buy any petrol as the car still has a quarter full tank.
I was down to 50 mile range so was beginning to swear
ÂŁ40 minimum spend would sort these twats out
Both my local Shell and Sainsburyâs forecourts were closed when I went food shopping earlier.
Leaving Sainsburyâs I noticed a tanker unloading and already a queue building both ways even though the tanker hadnât finished unloading.
Itâs as if as if people are sharing info? Maybe the Government should just shut down social media for a week - @sotonians excepted, obvs 
There are Facebook groups and websites dedicated to sharing info about petrol supplies.

Exactly!
At the ÂŁ1 a beer/vodka bar.

The chopped cable saga is back on Annoyances. Since reconnection, my BT box goes completely dead every hour or so and has to have a reboot to recover and my Bose Soundtouch happily searches my Deezer catalogue, announces the trackâs loading, then fuck all happens.
Bose blame Deezer. Deezer blame Bose. Then they jointly blame the BT router. BT havenât got a clue. An IT friend suggests itâs a portal mapping problem, whatever the fuck that means.
