That's not the point, even if she is hell bent on trying to implement this policy that saw Lord Frost run for the exit, she ought to be doing so in the House of Commons under scrutiny of our representatives. Either that or in a press release on the gov.uk website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 There's a dearth of bus drivers here. My social media is full of Stagecoach adverts looking for new drivers. Services have been halved and the local school was shut the other day as they couldn't run the school buses.It's not entirely down to Brexit, but with the percentage of drivers who weren't British citizens you've got to imagine it's played a significant part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a dreadfully cynical b*****d, but I wonder exactly how upset Stagecoach and First are about their shortage of drivers. This gives them a great opportunity to cut the lesser-used (and less profitable) services, like they've always wanted to do anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm finding getting my hands on certain industrial chemicals to be a massive ballache since Brexit. Used to place orders and get them within a fortnight (three weeks max), but yet again I'm currently still waiting on goods that I ordered four months ago. Going to have to default on work unless materials arrive this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These parts all come from Italy and the last few months they've completely run out and the new lead times are weeks rather than days. It's causing backlogs with the potential of lost work. Brexit, eh. What a laugh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
