Russia sells to other countries, countries that we buy from! Even though we produce the stuff too.

Its stupidly backwards that we export so much yet have to buy it back because we dont store it!

has anyone bought thermals from here: http://www.britishthermals.com/index.php if so, did you get british made or budget imported ? am trying to work out what the difference is!

It is such a cold day here... when I get too cold I get almost a heat rash type of reaction to the cold - and wherever this rash is.. I itch - it is unbearable and I seem to be getting worse as I get older I already have "nice" ladies vest tops to wear underneath t'shirts and jumpers but I think I will have to get thermal long janes and maybe a few thermal longsleeved tops too am only in my 30's!

I heard that Russia supplies the UK with 35% of it's gas - please don't shoot, it's just what I heard.

why are people buying candles and wind up torches ?, are you expecting power cuts for some reason? cant see any reason why there should be.

We've had a few power cuts over the past year.

Also some of us are preparing for the future

Britain is set to lose nearly half its electricity in six years

Its about 35% when you combine both direct and indirect supplies from russia.

Yep - another one who is well stocked-up with things. Duly given my mother some candles and matches to last her till the visit to the shops for supplies I suggested she make and also informed her just how much "free food" there is to forage for literally on her doorstep if need be (she probably wont - but I certainly did whilst I was there - hadnt realised what a "treasure trove" it is there:D ).

very interesting article, I had no idea.

here in southeast london I have had 1 power cut due to a fire earlier this year but that was the first for many years.

I remember the 3 day weeks in the 70's going to bed with a candle and getting annoyed that it was our turn to have no electricity when tops of the pops was on :eek: its a little world when you're young:rolleyes:
