Preparedness for when

Deep down I suspect that they know things are likely to erupt with poverty still climbing and them not giving a XXXX and so these are likely be used against the plebs before too long.

Can we have a standard English translation, I'm struggling a bit with that.

I think it's the Jockinese version of "use what you have and you'll never be without" or something like that.

Ta!

I lived in Scotland for 5 years, but some of it's still Greek to me.

I can speak Essential Holiday Greek, btw.

It's easy to get complacent here in pineapple land where the most exciting thing that happened recently was someone finding a sheep in their garden. But last night I went to a 24hr supermarket in the nearest town. I never thought of it as a bad town so was shocked when a friend said she wouldn't even consider driving through it at night. So how brave was I!
But dear me - maybe she was right. This supermarket, perfectly nice in daylight hours, had become chav central. It was like a scene from Hot Fuzz - a motley, grubby collection of shady looking customers with a smattering of zombies thrown in. The woman in front of me at the checkout was taking an age and gossiping with the operator. But trust me - you wouldn't want to pick an argument with her.:eek: Outside in the dark, the car park felt precarious and I couldn't wait to get in the car and head out of Dodge.
I'm thinking the next house has to be really really really rural.

Staying in my mother's posh "retirement" flat last month, I was woken up at about 1am by yelling from the supermarket car park behind. This is slap bang in the centre of our quiet little county town, BTW. Looking out of the window, there was a gang of about 20 youths attempting to riot. Sadly they clearly hadn't quite got the hang of it; after a lot of yelling, kicking of shop windows (none of which broke) rocking a couple of cars but not quite managing to overturn them, they got fed up with waiting for the county's two night-shift bobbies to turn up & fight (they were probably 20 miles away, dealing with an outbreak of poultry-rustling or something) subsided and pottered off home.

Luckily the seniors didn't hear a thing (hearing aids out for the night) but I was puzzled not to find anything in the press a couple of days later; I can't have been the only witness, and there must have been some damage, even if only to the litter bin that they managed to set on fire. Which, needless to say, fizzled out inside 5 minutes.

The thing is, if this kind of thing is going on under the surface in sedate & prosperous little backwater towns, what the heck is it like in inner cities now? And why were there no reports?
