Breaker, breaker one-nine, good buddy, we got us a convoy and it's clean clear to I-town. The Spanish lorry driving equivalents of Pig-Pen and the Rubber Duck have been out on strike protesting about the high cost of fuel and obviously Ibiza residents have been worried that the shops would run out of essential supplies.
A round of panic buying on Monday last, cleaned out many shelves and there were long queues at the gas stations as motorists filled up despite assurances from the authorities that the island had 2
months' supply of petrol.
However, shortages are now a big negatory, as last Friday two convoys of trucks put the hammer down and accompanied by more smokey bears than bugs on a bumper boarded the ferries at Barcelona and
Denia.
Holiday makers arriving in Ibiza this week can rest assured that vital supplies for a healthy snack on the beach – a 2 litre bottle of Fanta Orange and a giant packet of Quavers – will be
available thanks to Los Truckers.
We'd like to say 'let them truckers roll, ten - four!'
