    So did he cause shortages of HGV drivers and covid around the world as well?

    I hate that Boris, I wish I have voted for that useless Corbyn

    There is no global shortage of lorry drivers you absolute plum. The shortage is in the U.K. only, so yes, I’d say the government should take some responsibility. But I don’t actually blame Boris, who is really just an overgrown toddler, for wanting to play Prime Minister; I blame the morons who voted him in.

    I'm waiting until Jan 2022. Unless it gets pushed back again.

    I think a lot of foreign exporters are just not going to bother with the UK.

    Mindy with a meltdown at approx 6am. That can't be good for the soul waking up and reacting like that to the Conservative party.

    I queued up for an hour to get into the petrol station this morning. And after all that, they didn't have the sarnie I wanted. I was fizzing :mad:.

    Egg and cress, for those wondering.

    Too true, Mick. As it goes, I went home and made my own sarnie.

    Cheese and red onion chutney, for those wondering.

    I have never understood why people shorten "sandwich" to "sarnie". It is definitely one of my least favourite words.

    We would shorten it to sambos but think that word has fallen out of favour this days!

    Fair enough, M. I'll try to avoid it in future.

    I could understand "sannie" but don't understand why an "r" would be put into the word. Why do you reckon it is?
