Its not a lack of work - there are tens of millions of pounds worth of back orders. The problem is lack of stock to build anything with. The reason for lack of stock appears to be lack of cash to buy anything with. I hope all the outstanding customers have paid with credit cards, not cash as otherwise they could soon be out of pocket.
