some of you guys take things far too seriously - you are mad!!

if it got that bad I would have smashed into your house along with the millions of people before me and taken all your stash!!!!!

a shotgun and ammo is a better bet for the deluded!!!

I think some people didn't read my first post at the start of this thread.

I was asking about stocking up just in case you or your partner lost their jobs.

Where did all of this ' The end is nigh ' and when the bomb drops stuff come from.

:rolleyes:

It all does make for interesting reading though with quite a few laughs along the way.

:T

sb44 you are as mad as a bag of spanners!

why wouldn't you just buy the food when needed or keep the cash stashed for a rainy day as most sane people do!

if you lose your job it doesn't stop you going to asda!!!!!!

I know legend has it that the price of oil is coming down but there could be many, many reasons why 'the system' grinds to a halt. Anarchy, pandemic, disruption of supply lines by Russians, or Afghans, or whoever is least happy with the West this week (and who don't themselves depend on a monthly shop). Or just panic. Panic is the thing that spreads the most quickly and causes the fastest damage. It pays to have at least a week's supply of food - better to be prepared and not need it than to wait for the government to bail us out in an emergency. Does no one else remember the panic buying during the '70's? Apparently the supermarkets no longer have stocks (which they did then)but rely on the supply chain and their own central processing systems.

Is there any way I can turn my pee into petrol?

Doubt it, nor lager or gin. The other way round works though.

I think I read somewhere that you were best to have enough dry/tinned foodstuffs in for up to 6 months (not so much frozen in case we start having power cuts).

Making sure you have up up 6 months income is more of a priority than provisions.............

Go and try it now ... let us know how you get on.

Let some neighbours see you ... then we can look out for the thread in the Arms/Discussion Time of "OMG MY NEIGHBOUR JUST FLASHED ME"

Most people will never see 6 months' income saved in their lives.
Obviously the more you earn the easier it is to achieve because if you want to save that up you just have to cut back... if you're not earning it in the first place you can't.
