... as we are all aware, delivery of new models from abroad is constantly being disrupted owing to various situations beyond our control.

 

The latest (genuine) reason is that because of the intense heatwave that has been going on in China, demand for electric fans, air conditioning units, etc., has gone through the roof, causing massive demand for electricity.

 

Some factories have been put on short time, through lack of sufficeinet electricity to go around. One of my suppliers is currently working a two day week, as opposed to five.

 

Hopefully, all these various disruptions: transportation, import backlogs, electricity supplies, will settle down shortly, and things will get back to something resembling normality. Until then, we'll all have to 'keep calm and carry on' so to speak. 

 

(Personally, I'm worried sick. I don't know where my next million's coming from ...)

 

Regards to all,

Frank.
