Don't feel awkward about it craigywv, your posts are very helpful - for instance I'd never have thought of looking in - er - your place of work, for little tubs of milk I must go and have a nose round in our local one to see what they've got!

That's unfortunate, as SHTF situations don't always wait for you to get kitted up.

Personally, I'd feel naked, without a folding knife in my pocket.

OH has taken to carrying a little Victorinox penknife. It has a tiny pair of scissors, but not a thing for taking Boy Scouts out of horses' hooves.

I've no idea why he suddenly decided he wanted one - he hasn't used a penknife since he was a lad! but he's very pleased with it.

Craigywv I've only seen your posts mentioning your place of work as very helpful. Its not somewhere I get to regularly, I have occasionally detoured there to purchase something you've mentioned as being available. Please continue.
In the above example I have access via wholesalers, but knowing where I'd able to buy small quantities is always useful.

I'd like you to continue, too, craigywv. I don't often go shopping in non-charity shops but one of the few places I go to, from time to time, is Poondlandia.

Thing is, with them having a pretty fast turnover on certain items, you can miss something you'd've liked to buy because you weren't in that week, so pls tip us off for preptastic matters.

Timescale for this promised manufactured crisis? Just around the time of the EU referendum.

A pal's son wrote his uni thesis about the evils perpetrated by the IMF in African economies. Barstewards.

ok thankshall indeed continue to mention things,what I have noticed is you need to take your time and scan EVERY shelf .set aside a half hour that your not in a rush and go through EVERY single shelf, look at everything I work there and am flabbergasted at the things come through the tills I have had no idea we sold.sometimes its nothing very special to some people other times its "just what I needed" or "i wouldn't pay full whack for that " it will surprise you what you find especially you Nuatha all the computer bits and bobs are hide things that cost a fortune else where hth xxx

Craigy Thanks for the post ,although I use a lot of horticultural grit I also use copper tape around more vulnerable veg in pots .
Mar Condensed milk ! I'd forgotten about it , I used to pinch it by the spoonful as a child . Now craving it but doubt my adult palate could cope .polly

On the subject of things we used to eat as children, remember Farleys Rusks?

Delicious with warm milk and sugar.

Yuck. Neither I nor my brother would touch those vile things as infants, despite parental encouragement.
