On this edition of Call You & Yours we want to hear how shortages are affecting you.

Fuel is just the latest shortage.  It's part of a wider problem related to there being too few lorry drivers available in the UK.  It's already affected supermarket supplies, with reports of empty shelves in places. There are also shortages of other workers to pick crops and for abattoirs and in the poultry industry. Last week it was carbon dioxide for fizzy drinks and food packaging, before that computer chips for cars.

Have you struggled to get petrol? Will it affect you getting to work? What about the food – have you noticed any shortages in supermarkets?
Maybe you’ve been laid off because of material shortages or you’re working much longer hours as a HGV driver to deliver fuel or food.

How are shortages affecting you?  Email us - youandyours@bbc.co.uk and don't forget to leave a phone number, so we can contact you. From 11.00am on Tuesday 28th September, you can call us direct on 03700 100 444. [Standard geographic rates apply]
