    Thanks - I wouldn't normally be so helpful, but I am working towards achieving "respected poster of the year" (see other thread).

    considering my love of gardening (not) potatoes would probably be an improvement:rotfl:

    anyone care to post a few mice, the cats are getting rather excited by all the talk of meeces in the attic, but prefer delivery rather than take away:rotfl: :rotfl:

    >With these posts, looks like recessesion, unemployment etc are the last things we need to worry about!<

    Raise your awareness of how censorship is now being used to suppress a very great deal about the reality of Britain today. That non-coverage of beheading in Manchester was a example of news management ordered from the top.

    We are being drip fed nonsense to create the fear that Clown is then exploiting with the faux-Churchill act; the facts are NOT getting to the sheeple that's for sure. I can't remember when the BBC had any analysis of worth (I don't count Clown's sock-puppet Preston arguing for collectivisation)

    Has anyone started to stock up on basic foodstuffs etc in case they or their partners are made redundant?

    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).

    So you're the one causing the panic buying!

    You need to add a drop (literally) of strong bleach and keep it out of the light if you want to store water over the longer term.


    Why on earth would you want to store tap water for Pete's sake!:rotfl:
