    Any of the tin hat brigade live near me ?

    Just asked the wife how much food we have in the house, and by the looks of the roads it might not last until it's all melted :eek:

    Got any to spare ??

    No-one would be getting stocked up if the irresponsible BBC didn't give the story national coverage as they struggle to get their reporters to other events.

    Not true....

    A true tin-foiler is always stocked up as a matter of course - regardless of the weather

    The end of the world is NOT nigh.

    However, it's good practice to keep a stockpile of things you need. It's not just snow that can destroy your ability to go out. Last year both me and the lass, caught some evil lurgy. Couldnt drive for 2 weeks and no shop in the village, glad we had a backup.

    A true tin foil hatter would keep 100's of tins of beans, for us, it's just a full freezer and cupboards. It's nice to have stock.

    Surplus is the polar opposite of debt.

    Wish we'd stocked up in case - no not of economic collapse, of snow, silly.

    Little bit of snow has meant Tesco's cancelled my online shop. :(

    May have to borrow nappies for my DS from a neighbour. Rather more essential than a cup of sugar. :eek:
  • After hearing about there only being 8 days of gas left, I've started hoarding it like mad, the whole house is full of it!

    Now, do these matches still work . . . .
    My advice is worth exactly what you're paying for it!

    House prices have gone up.

    Who cares about the weather?
