Lots of people working from home = less cars running to the office & back daily.
100K lorry drivers gone AWOL = far fewer wagons running up & down the motorways.
Result = fuel shortage
One of the warmest summers for a while.
Many offices closed due to home working therefore saving on gas & electric.
Shops closing all over as we move to online shopping, another saving of gas & electric.
Result = gas shortage
. . . strangely no hosepipe ban for years though?
