The semiconductor situation is a real pain. My employer ordered a Volvo lorry near last Christmas that was initially arriving in July, then it became august, now it's december, in truth I don't like Volvo lorrys so was hoping work would change to an MAN like I already drive but they're VW and I expect it wouldn't arrive much quicker anyway as they have the same problem. I finally convinced work to get a fork lift on the back, making my job much easier and saving my already bad back but the forklift too has been delayed. The limited number of factories making these was asking for issues, along with problems like covid and a "perfect storm" of things all at once I can't see them catching up with supply properly for a while yet.
