Was it 2000 when there was an HGV strike? I seem to remember that didn't end well either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 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 days 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't matter we've got no fuel when everyone is busy pulling a handcart full of shit. We don’t all live in Leicester 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupid Stunt Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 No fuel shortage and no tanker driver shortage, just some fuckmuppets from a haulage association released a false report, the press jumped all over it and the public became complete fucking retards Don't care my scooter is full and I can get 75mpg 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If there's any sort of improvement in lorry drivers conditions off the back of this Id be happy for it. Expecting someone to sleep in a cab in lay-by or on an industrial estate with no facilities, not even basic necessities like drinking water or a toilet isn't exactly an enticing job is it. Seems an inhumane way to treat folk. Particularly odd when they are so essential to the way we live. If it was an estate agent or a banker thirsty and busting for shit I might not have the same opinion though 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things hindsight always surprises me with is the conditions we can accept that later on look barbaric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
