Maybe living in the backwoods is an issue? Were you picking up a banjo or canoe?

Gin supplies are holding out just fine in Kensington!
Plenty of limes available for my margaritas too.

Yes there is a driver shortage in many countries, but only in the UK the shops are half empty
Versions of IR35 (and much stricter in many cases) do exist in other countries as well

The last article is quite revealing, as 53% of respondents blamed IR35, which is quite understandable.

Also, Germany has 1.5million truck drivers, the UK has 516,000, so the UK shortage is about 12%, and the German shortage is about 3%
So, while 58% of the UK RHA questioned blamed Brexit, 53% said that the problem with getting agency drivers was IR35. Not quite the spin you put on it.

If the shortage isn't due to Brexit, then why aren't European drivers now coming over to take advantage of the higher rates?
ONS figures suggest 18,000 EU drivers went home. The other missing 82,000 drivers is complaining about is because people don't want to drive Class 1 for minimum wage.
