Q before P

The County of Kent has become a Lorry park. 3000 lorries including other vehicles waiting to cross from Britain into France. In Chinese there are over 50,000 characters in their written language and knowledge of 18,000 is required to get by. In the West we have 26 characters in the alphabet. The letter P precedes Q but in Kent the rule has changed Q comes ahead of P.

The problem is of course P where ? Q is fine open the airfield. The lorry drivers for now two nights have had to sleep in their cabs. There are no toilets or eat facilities. We know that Lorry drivers eat Yorkie chocolate bars according to the advert but none of them would have stocked up for this Q. The hard shoulder of the motorway was probably taken away for a cycle Lane so where the guys P while they Q is a real logistical issue. Who would have expected this just before Christmas , a trial run led by the UK Government ahead of a possible failed Brexit. Someone is taking the P, is it that Chap Schapps or does the Gove fit. Blame Macron some say but then again we always do. The fact is it doesn’t matter if your in a Q to P. Kent is now to become a sewer the garden of England a latrine as they Q to P.

Don’t worry however the Army are on their way to test the Lorry drivers for Covid 19 and clear up the mess. Each person is to be tested, each test takes 20 minutes to get the result. If 3000 drivers are all tested at once we will be done in 20 minutes ready if free from the virus to depart. Don’t forget however there’s a Q and to clear that will take a Ferry long time. The fact is if they line up for the 20 minute test one by one it will take a 1000 hours, yes around 40 days to get through. By that time the P will have flooded Kent. What happens if the drivers test positive ? Where will they go for that other Q ( quarantine ). Then there will a Q to Q and where will they all P for 14 days. Things can get very messy from here on in.

R the rate of infection spread has increased and R has preceded both P and Q . Everything is back to front. In fairness you can’t blame all this on the Government but Dover and Dover again mistakes have been made and those white cliffs could yet turn brown if the Q continues. The Salvation Army with brass band will inevitably turn up soon as they always do in crisis to feed the drivers. If the Army can build a hospital in a week and trench out the Somme for war they can dig out a latrine soon enough. I’m not worried but it’s depressing to think that a little bit of IQ applied would have removed the Q and avoided the P.
