That's one way of making sure TS doesn't HTF.

Oh, don't make me laugh Bob. It makes me cough.

Yes, but when you do need to evacuate, you really need to have been hydrating diligently & possibly have soaked battered linseeds overnight for a couple of days before.

That or drink Guinness which I'm assured is like Pickford's "shifts anything".... Quite who combined those adverts where & when, I don't I want to consider.

Actually, one little prep that occurred to me today regarding bank cards not working, is to have two from different banks. (Alternatively have a Barclaycard, but bank elsewhere.)

Then, any time you are in a shop, and find your card doesn't work, you have another to try.

Codeine doesn't have the same effect on everyone, but just to be on the safe side eat a high-fibre diet. Or add ground linseed to porridge.

Or, you could carry some cash.

I understand it's accepted pretty much everywhere.

Kombucha tea is pretty effective too...

But your card isn't working Bob, and you just spent your last £50 on diesel.

It depends on how long SHTF for doesn't it?

I don't know why you feel the need to sarcastically troll my comments Bob. I don't do it to you.

I'm not trolling anything, let alone sarcastically.

I'm simply pointing out, how dangerous it is to rely on cards.
