    We've covered this! grinning-smiley-004.gif

    They are all massacred by hairy arsed bikers, after being raped. The women don't get off that lightly either. :eek:

    It's a whole heap of no fun: quite similar in fact to what happened to prudent savers and those who thought they made adequate made pension provision in the noughties.

    Anyway, I'm busking people getting off the 18:38 at 19:00. :D

    Thanks trev, have stuck it in to record. People with basements full of food and a two year supply of drinks though - I thought that was Extreme Couponing.

    I wonder if we'll finally get to see what Asheron looks like.

    I've heard he's tidy and organised, but the photographic evidence is, I admit, rather sketchy....

    I'm more of a lurker than a poster in this section of the MSE forums, but I can't help but ask - can you expand on this please?

    T'was the simple observation that one doesn't need total financial meltdown or nuclear armageddon to feel that personal money stores/stockpiles won't be adequate, with interest rates so low and inflation eating into them.

    Nowt clever, I'm afraid. :o

    I watched it. Families 1 and 2 wouldn't stand a chance against hungry hoardes and 3 and 4 were way too whacky. Interesting programme, but you'd be hard pressed to even try most of that here due to the different population densities. I think people would look on me a tad strangely if I tried to build a nuclear shelter in the middle of the local town park.

    They'd look at you even more strangely if you started teaching your kids how to shoot people! :eek:

    Agree with you, that most of those interviewed wouldn't stand a chance. The GF even asked if we should get a few more tins in :rotfl:I wonder how many watching took it seriously?

    Wouldn't be it ironic if this really took off and the increased economic activity resulted in aiding a recovery out of the current economic gloom.
