Preparedness for when

Think this might interest you:

about predicted areas of water shortages in 15 years. The UK isn't the worst but isn't the best placed either. Worth thinking about if planning a long-term place to live, might be some advantages to thinking about wetter parts of the country.

I'm not quite understanding your comment there??? - ie re ISIS/IS/whatever they are calling themselves this week as you put it (I'll stick with ISIS personally). Am I reading it that you think ISIS might manage to "waylay" some bailout money??

Me I just tend to think of ISIS as "people with bloodlust". Having read accounts of various other wars/terrorism/select name as applicable it seems that basically its usually the case that many people "on both sides" genuinely have been convinced/have convinced themselves that they are in the right and God/Allah/whatever are on their side. But this ISIS lot just seem to go in for sheer bloodlust for the sake of it and watching people get murdered for personal matters like what religion they are/what sexual orientation they are/what they are up to in their "private lives" and by such horrific methods is making my mind boggle.

Not at all. It was a comment about not wanting to be called the Troika, and are now calling themselves the Eurogroup or something similar.

In some respects they do have very similar tendencies to ISIS in that they are determined to get blood out of a stone, see themselves as right, (even if they are clearly wrong), are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Greeks by way of suicides, turning Greece into a third world nation. They might even be thought of as economic terrorists by the way they are laying waste to Greece.

I do not in the slightest think that ISIS will get a penny of bail out money. Finally I do not support ISIS in any way or shape or form, and never will. The world will be a better place without them.

Afternoon all, just back home after a not nice train journey but while I was away I came across an amazing book (which I bought of course!) called THE GARDEN FORAGER by ADELE NOZEDAR published by Square Peg. It's about foraging in your back yard and has some eye opening plants listed and recipes too including Firethorn, Hymalayan Honeysuckle, Sedums and House Leeks and Dhalias amongst the many. Truly useful and includes things I'd never have considered. Well worth a look if you should come across it in a shop or at the library.

That sounds great! I've just been researching an unknown in my garden, and its hairy bittercress - leaves very edible, and no known hazards on pfaf, so I'm well chuffed

Sorry your journey was bad

If you like it, I have an allotment which grows it at the drop of a hat. The flowers are very popular with insects but don't let it set seed as the seed pods explode and send the seeds up to a meter. Dadblasted things, but very fast growing.
