Czech carmaker Skoda Auto, part of the Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) group, will halt production at two domestic plants for a week at the end of September due to chip shortages, the company said on Thursday.

From delayed car deliveries to a supply shortfall in home appliances and smartphones, businesses and consumers across the world have been facing the consequences of an unprecedented shortage in semiconductor microchips.

I was thinking about putting this into the Chuckle thread before @@Lee alters it. 😉

 

Just noticed the earlier post by @alexxutzu so moved that to be with this one.

Unfortunately for Lee that also means he won't be able to edit the title so I'll have to do it or poor old Alex will get blamed!

There is this "minor" waterway called the "river Danube"...

Stick them on a train and do a deal with EuroTunnel.... 😉
