Well as I say my local had its deliveries as usual but were short of bottled beers (this has also happened to several other local pubs from the same chain) because the beer is being prioritised for the supermarkets, my mates Mrs runs my local and had the info direct from both her area manager and the supplier.

Strange so are these people in the article telling porkys then and our supplier also said shortage of drivers funny world we live in .But it’s not  just beer is it it’s right across food supply chain as well .

HGV driver shortage could threaten food supply – FWD

The shortage of HGV delivery drivers is now critical and could threaten food supply in some areas, says FWD

Food wholesalers are experiencing severe difficulties delivering to convenience stores, pubs, restaurants and care homes, so FWD has asked the government for a temporary extension of drivers’ hours – as was put in place when supermarkets were facing shortages last year.

The fact that the UK haulage industry was reporting driver shortages in 2013, 2014 and 2015, kinda suggests that the poor performance of this sector is due to psis poor planning, rather than Brexit.

Articles from the relevant years are linked.

But they weren't and aren't tied up against the quayside  since January.

You've been caught out in this obvious lie before, so why are you repeating it?

They got guard jobs worth around £1500-£2000 a day they couldn’t fish so took something better than nothing. , but still losing near on a million a month , now £300,000 for 9-10 fishing is just slightly better than £1500 a day it barely covers running expenses and Crews wages in fact some of the crews have walked left the industry , you can’t pay bills on fresh air and peanuts that’s unless your Boris Johnson .

And  I don’t think they would catch 400 boxes of cod off Margate do you or do you ????? ? They might catch 1 cod if they are very lucky .

But hey ken they are allowed to go back fishing very shortly they still won’t get there £6 milion  quid back because of brexit .And just to pass there feeling on they now hate Boris Johnson guts .you can’t lie for ever it will always catch you up.looks  like his dislike spread to the recent by - election do  they know something as well

It was a crap deal, as I've said many times, but you are blinded by your hate. Overall, Brexit is going well.
