Tanker drivers who work for Wincanton and who are in the Unite Union have staged a walk out this morning from 5:am. It didn't say how long they were on strike for.

Our stations get theirs from Buncefield for some reason even though immingham is nearer and Morrisons comes from Colwick and I don't think their tankers are operated by Wincanton so we should be OK for now BUT last time supplies for our stations were diverted elsewhere so I shall watch the situation carefully !

All Morrisons Tankers I think are operated by Wincanton.

Panic? What panic?

I always view these things as an opportunity to have a couple of days off \:D/
