How To Fix The Supply Chain Crisis
Tesco chief executive, Sir Dave Lewis is to advise on how to fix the supply chain crisis that has led to petrol and other shortages.
It comes as the Office for National Statistics found one in six UK adults said they had been unable to buy essential foods in the last fortnight.
The recent fuel crisis was caused in part by a shortage of lorry drivers.

So, here's a question for the AB 'experts' with brains (more than the Ex Tesco boss, assuming big brains exist here) and even those without, even normal size brains - what's the answer to fix the supply chain crisis, what is the solution?

Why does gulliver find it so hard to admit some of us haven't had trouble getting fuel or food. Yes they have had some problems in certain parts where panic buying has been out in force but in others we have had no problems or very little. He takes so much interest in running the country down for someone who says he lives abroad.

this is increasingly common in the transport sector, and is now being accepted on the railways too, on the basis that driving is one of the most hazardous activities in the world of work. its function is not to spy, per-se, but to watch the driver for signs of fatigue, periods of zone-out, road rage, anything that may lead the driver into a potential RTI situation. the system is driven by AI which is programmed to "know" what it's looking for. its partner in the system, the dashcam, is programmed to recognise traffic signals, other vehicles and pedestrians, and even the colour of signals when passed. the system only operates when the vehicle driving desk is activated by the key.

Interesting answers. I suspect regarding..
'one in six UK adults said they had been unable to buy essential foods in the last fortnight.'
davebro 'What is "essential"? No pasta - use spuds or rice, no filtered milk - use ordinary or long life, Aldi & Lidl seem fully stocked!'
I suspect the diet of many will consist of more unhealthy 'fast food' rather than healthy fresh fruit and veg, as food prices increase due to shortages etc it's the poor in our communities that suffer most.
The solution (it's coming anyway.. so the tech people keep telling us) AI and self driving lorries, that will fix everything..?

1ozzy // Our farmers haven't had the usual influx of backpackers this year, or last.
Aren't they bleating like poddy lambs.
Pay a decent wage, get a decent worker.//
Farmers don't make money out of seasonal workers. The veg or fruit has already been sold to Supermarkets on most big farms. I'm sure Farmer Giles would be happy to pay a bigger wage if the Supermarkets would pay more for their products, and consumers would be prepared to pay double for their fruit and veg.
Most seasonal workers are very happy with the pay they get or they would not come over would they?

Ok, so no shortages that's good to hear.
For the AB 'experts' here with brains (yes I do appreciate that is an oxymoron despite what they would have us believe) plus the extra ability to notice things when out in a supermarket.. that The Supply Chain Crisis is a reality despite what Big Bad Boris has been saying up to very recently.. them that are not in denial (VLI's) that B*exit could be anything other than the best thing ever to happen in living memory.. sorry to shock you, I will break it to you gently, there ARE actually shortages < SHOCK!! HORROR!! >
The Supply Chain Crisis update from my favourite 'Politics Phil'
Watch at your peril! P.s. remainers take heart, we will be rejoining the EU single market, maybe not this year but (be patient) it WILL happen, Bonkers Brexit Britain cannot be allowed to go on like this, it's absolute madness! I don't care, I now feel better for having said all that! :O)
