I think you will all be swimming in money, big boobs and MV Agustas in a couple of years, once all that money from the US, India, Australia thing starts flowing through the UK. This is nothing but a hiccup in turning the empire back on.4 points

Well, if I can provide an external view: It is known that England is pretty congested, but at the same time it is also known that wages are a lot higher than in "poorer" countries, your cars are newer, you are perceived as a culture of consumerism and that entices people who come from places where they simply have no money after going through monthly basic living expenses to try and make it there. I remember minimum wage being less than 500€/month in Portugal, today it's 665€/month. If you work a full job to come home and pay groceries and bills and be skint in two weeks, suddenly a congested island seems pretty good as people are picturing being in traffic sitting inside a brand new BMW. Reality for most of those immigrants might not be what they expect, but that's what they're going after. I know several people who went to the UK to work a few years ago, @Sofia being one of them with a skillset, while others go hoping for whatever comes their way. It is not easy adapting from south Europe to the UK or any other "northern" country but it does turn out great for lots of people compared to what they had back home. This is my perspective, and I'm doing good in a European country. Factor in coming from an Eastern European ethnic cleansing ex-war ruin, or borderline civil war African country, and that congested plague central is bliss once you have a full stomach everyday while being able to send a little money home at the end of the month.4 points

For some strange reason I am sad because I don't have a photo for this month.... I could whine about the reasons but that won't help. I will just enjoy everyone else's photos and hope for a better month in October for such things.....3 points

Two or three years ago there was a strike here too, for HGV drivers of dangerous loads, fuel being the most significant. I did have enough fuel on the car to go home and there I had the GS fully fueled, and went on a trip enjoying my 600km autonomy on back roads It did get ugly, once planes started getting grounded for having no fuel and the army started doing the minimum service transport some people got really agitated, but Portugal being Portugal all was well after a couple of days3 points

The UK is a superpower again, your fuel shortages have made it to portuguese news broadcasting! According to my tv you're solving this by issuing visas to foreign truck drivers. Smart, you understood what caused the issue and are now doing the opposite to fix it, we should all have such humble governments. Maybe next will be a list of unwanted or difficult jobs being sent to other countries: please send 300 bricklayers, 140 garbage men, 500 cheap hospice nurses, 10000 fruit pickers, 3 cheap certified nuclear scientists, etc, I could see that working...3 points

They keep saying, so how come now we have 8000 petrol stations and 5500 have no fuel.2 points
-
Another conspiracy is modern petrol goes off so can't be kept for so long. After all what's happened we now have a stock pile so the scare mongering was started deliberately. Petrol used to last for bloody ages but not so sure with ethanol mixed in.2 points

Yeah my mates brother has just gone down with it as well, and yep he’s a teacher double vaccinated.2 points

I guess that having 12+ year old kids vaccinated here is having an effect. I see younger kids walking down the road to school in the morning and they've all got masks on. Interestingly, my eldest so told me that my ex has gone down with Covid (double vaccinated) in the last week or so, she works in a school. So, make of that what you will!2 points
