    no it isn`t, not from the long term frequent posters anyway. I regard this particular thread as a very good resource and covers all sorts of shtf situations, from all sorts of angles. It is an invaluable thread

    I disagree that it's not long term posters who are arguing.

    right....what are folks thoughts on interest rates? will they go up? I have no mortgage and a small nest egg, so obviously a rise would benefit me in that way.....

    Something which bought a smile to my eyes yesterday was at a car boot in a very rural Lincolnshire location. I had to look twice, and there were not one, but two wooden spinning wheels! I naturally thought of Kittie but it doesn't appeal yet as a prepping hobby. Maybe when I have retired!

    Hi there crochet flower (nice name).
    There is expectation that interest rates will go down. I have a small nest egg too and I am beginning to think I should hatch the flippin thing as its real value is actually going down.

    Living proof I'm in the east mids and I saw a rather beautiful big old weaving loom for sale at the boot last week. Strange how these things pop up randomly. I've never seen one for sale before, it had a beautiful ha,f completed piece of work on it.

    I daren't start another stash building hobby

    Thanks...although I seem to have nicked the name idea off Crochet Teapot!!
    Yes perhaps we should invest in gold instead!
