I always imagined James Bond gets paid in an untraceable expense account that he uses to pay for travel, hotels, martinis, guns, and suits. He doesn't seem to have a life other than the "mission". e: oh yeah snipe/tax:

Seems more like a media stunt than anything, can't imagine people jumping on that poo poo. It might work for food workers though, particularly non-euro ones, but it will be insanely more exploitative than it was eith freedom of movement.

Noxville posted:From what I understand it's only (currently) BP stations with a fuel shortage, the queues are all idiots panic buying? Pain for my wife because she needs to fill up ready to drive down to Enfield this evening. Seems to be the case from what I’ve seen. My work has a lot of vans queuing for fuel saying people in front of them are often only putting in £4-5 of fuel. In a lot of instances the only stuff left are the premium superfuels, and fleet is going to pitch a fit if everyone starts filling with that. Luckily I filled my van up yesterday and my car has over half a tank left, so I should be able to cope until this settles down.

I think you definitely hit the nail on the head there, Boris is all about the 'gesture', one can assume that they shall be arriving via the N.I. to Scotland tunnel/bridge in due course.

Jakabite posted:I’d recommend combining the three. I had strong reticence about it at first from the same reactive guilt gland but then I started having a couple of pints and half a spliff at lunch time and that all melted away. hahaha the temptation to be high and/or pissed all day is always there but I'm trying to keep the weed to the evenings and the booze to the weekends (not even the latter at the moment cos I'm a fat gently caress right now and trying to shift a few stone) Which again is probably the guilt gland saying "you're not an addict so long as you keep it over the yardarm  "That said, couldn't imagine it while working. Talking to strangers over the phone while high (in this current job, I mean) - gently caress no. And when I drink I just immediately lose interest in work of any kind whatsoever and just wanna get smashed and listen to music

Hardly a scientific sample but I went past three petrol stations today (Texaco, BP, Tesco) and all were just straight-up closed, which suggests to me they were running pretty low on stock even before everyone panicked.

It's just occurred to me that the Texaco station often has police cars and ambulances filling up there (it's the nearest petrol station to two cop shops and the London Hospital) - I don't know if they have their own independent reserves (I seriously doubt it because EFFICIENCY) but poo poo might get ugly quickly.

I'll always work late if my colleagues are in a tight spot and need helping out but if I do 4 hours of actual work in an 8 hour day, I'm entirely guilt-free about it at this point. I work for a wealth management firm, so our clients can easily afford it, so

Wasn't a drop of fuel to be had in my local Shropshire market town this afternoon. Talking of which, I'm in-person trading tomorrow at the Market Drayton 'Ginger and Spice' festival. There's going to be all sorts of artisinal foods, live music and various other attractions throughout the day- drop on by if you're in the area! I'll be set up on Cheshire Street- drop a goony shibboleth to get special deals.

Well, the supermarket nearest me had closed its petrol station but the BP garage was still open and in fact a tanker had just rocked up. It probably helps that it's in an utterly stupid (and frankly dangerous) location literally on a roundabout so if there's no space you're basically hosed and have to go off and around again, with the result that it's impossible to queue at it and impractical for anyone that doesn't live near by. Supermarket itself didn't seem to have shortages of anything though, and I'm not sure why "supermarket shortages bite!" Is being illustrated with a picture of the bottled water aisle on the grauniad right now.

Home Bargains near me has had 3 near-empty chest freezers for over a week now might even be 2 weeks but I was away last week for a while. No nescafe classic(I know,  but it was only £2.99 for 230g with Italian labelling - none in Waitrose or Iceland either), looking sparse on the dairy products front too except for fresh milk.
