I'm back in the office for two of the three days a week I'm contracted. I've also done more driving for domestic stuff in the last week or three. We've also used the caravan more this year than in 2019.
The panic buying starting two weeks ago certainly exposed a lack of resilience. Up until then any shortage of tanker drivers seemed not to be visible. Even the issue reported that apparently drove the panic only affected a small number of BP outlets.
