Preparedness for when

VJsmum

Back from Glastonbury, covered in mud

I can't write anything about the vote, I don't know how

Appreciate that you have hot running water, hell any running water and a flushing toilet

I have used a VR thingy to walk through the jungle in Calais. I went in the back of a lorry at night (I was truly terrified and had to pull the visor away from my face to remind myself that I was in a field in Somerset), I stood and watched the jungle burn down around me. "My home" burned down around me. I was in a boat on the med in the dark. And then I was in the smallest whitest room ever in a hostel in England.

But I was safe

Be grateful and be nice. This is what I learned.....

Do we think these tensions and anger have been simmering away underneath for a while? Maybe something to do with the lack of a break from austerity and the near-impossibility of getting a decent steady job for life with a wage you can live on? I wonder how many politicians see and recognise that - but they won't ever say it out loud.
I think prepping is coming back into it's own!

I reckon you're right on both counts mar!

Apparently Gibraltar is now in talks with Scotland about staying in the EU....

Just seen your post VJs Mum, welcome back to the madhouse! Hope you enjoyed Glasto!

ETA Now read your post properly. What a terrifying experience :eek: for them and for you.

I don't class myself as tied to any political party, I vote for who I like best at the current time, however I want to share this link to an article with the oldies here because it is quite amusing and might resonate with them!

I chuckled at that.

We did have some youngsters calling in on referendum day itself expecting to register to vote, and to vote, that very day. They were shocked and disbelieving to find that they were out of time and out of luck, and that we don't do exceptions even for them. Bearing in mind the two months plus of brouhaha in the run-up to the 23rd, one wonders which rocks they had been hiding under not to know better.

Speaking of hiding under rocks, wherever has Osborne been? You'd think whomever had locked him in a cellar for three days could have spared him a bowl of gruel, he looks proper peaky today, bless his black and rotten heart.

Please don't build a wall unless you put a letter box in it, I'd really miss being able to natter to MAR and I'd still like to post her the odd book, please don't seal Scotlandshire off altogether???

It'll be fine, Lyn. If necessary we can fly drones over the Wall hauling essential supplies of subversive literature (OS housekeeping manuals, for example) and there will always be a two-way traffic in confectionary between the nations. Golly, but where would the English sugar barons be without the sweetie-loving Mardatha?

Destitute, I tell thee, destitute, and sitting on top of piles of whopping great ugly muddy beets, sobbing gently. You'd never think there was anything edible in the dadblasted things to look at them; they look to me like something you could feasibly launch from a ballista.

THUNK!

If you've got access to a Ballista petal, we don't need the letter box, we can deliver things 'air mail' in the most literal sense of the words!!!

What about pigeon post ?

You could even make a pie out of the messenger

I don't think for one minute NS is serious about being able to stop the UK Brexit. She's a lawyer and she knows exactly what the law says. She's just doing what many of us in here would love to do.... winding up the govt!
Cappella I'm finding it very easy to do a British-only menu. Especially with the wartime cookbooks. I have one Q though...
is pavlova British??? *prays*
