Talk about a perfect match.
Across the water, Britain is suffering from a HGV driver crisis which has resulted in a petrol shortage.
And in a hilarious and beautiful coincidence, reporting on the situation is the aptly entitled Phil McCann.
You won't get it until you say his name out loud, so go ahead...
Yep, that's right, it sounds very much like 'Fill my can'.
Naturally, people online are cracking up at the situation.
So much so that the news reporter found himself trending on twitter.

On a serious note - the group representing truck drivers is reassuring people there are no current shortages of goods, despite some problems with supply chains.
Supply chain issues could affect goods including petrol, diesel and food items.
But the message is - there may be some delay so be prepared for Christmas but don't panic...
