The UK and Ireland depend a lot on deliveries from mainland Europe. With Covid still around, I expect drivers prefer to stay "local" in mainland Europe.

A new study has found that a significant decline in cargo volumes in France has alleviated the country’s driver shortage issues.
Ireland
Quote:
A shortage of lorry drivers could risk a “serious and severe” impact on the “efficient and timely distribution of goods” between the State and its trading partners, the Sunday Independent reports, citing a letter sent to the Department of Transport by the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA).

German confectionery giant Haribo said that due to the short supply of truck drivers in Britain and Germany, which seriously interfered with the logistics of its gummy bears and other candies, it is currently trying to deliver the candies to stores across the UK.

Northern Ireland is fortunate enough to share a border with a lagging EU country with excess capacity so can be supplied from there. :D
You are so predictable, Andrew!

Do yourself a favour - take the blinkers off. Taste the coffee!:D

2.49 in the morning in the morning is not the right time for most people to be drinking coffee. ;)

Tesco boss John Allan said "there may be some shortages", but people should not "over-dramatise" and panic-buy.
"It's very easy to make a drama out of a modest crisis," he told the BBC.
Quite.

Food is bad for you, look how thin we all were after WWII, rationing returning will solve the obesity crisis

Meanwhile, the UK is now free to reform its hopelessly bureaucratic data protection laws. I for one won’t miss the cookie pop-up tsunami, foisted on me by Brussels for no good reason.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58340333

Quote:
The UK's new Information Commissioner will be charged with a post-Brexit "shake up" of data rules, including getting rid of cookie pop-ups.
John Edwards has been named the next head of data regulator the ICO.
The government said Mr Edwards, currently the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner, would "go beyond the regulator's traditional role".
The job would now be "balanced" between protecting rights and promoting "innovation and economic growth".
