Prepping for Brexit thread

No salt and no butter Witless - heart healthy always. I do see your point and I agree that we could strip it back even further if we had to.

You canny eat porridge without salt! It's against the law. And weird!

Witless

I eat (reasonably) healthily but there's many a true word [STRIKE]spoken[/STRIKE] typed in jest.

Think where the word salary comes from and why the Romans paid legionnaires with salt - essential in moderation for a healthy diet.

Likewise butter - in moderation.

Traditional foods, eaten in the traditional way: the key words being in moderation.

Mar,
I agree with that, and personally it has to be made with water, not milk.

I hear you Mar but never had salt in porridge. :eek:

Witless I have a weakness within my heart wall due to myocarditis. I yet don't know whether it's caused permanent damage, I'm medicated to take the strain off the the heart and only just seen the back of angina pain. I'm 38 and have been advised to not have added salt in my diet and to lower my cholesterol level.

Whether you speak/type in gest or not, I won't be adding salt and butter to my daily breakfast, not even in moderation.

Hi.....I don't want to go down the political road, but my understanding is that - in law - once Article 50 was triggered that was it, no turning back.

I could be wrong of course.

At any rate I tend to agree that another referendum, whatever the results, could be disastrous. Emotions are already far too high.

It could be dynamite.

I see the divisions it causes. Among friends, colleagues, and even families.

We can turn back if the other 27 allow us to. If we did, I don't think any of them would object too strongly, so that would be simple enough. It's the upset it would cause at home that would be the problem.
Could Teresa stand up in the house and announce that it's all just too difficult after 40 years of integration and we're staying in whether you like it or not, back me or sack me? Probably.

Or, as a lovely lady well into her nineties once said to me, "Everything in moderation dear. Except chocolate."

It's all a bit like a kaleidoscope, there'll be a few more turns and then right at the end we'll see what it will look like - but probably not till the end. I don't think anyone can safely predict what will happen. Interestingly my two DDs who both voted remain and were dreadfully upset at the result, both say there's no going back and they would vote leave in a second referendum because it would be too humiliating otherwise to beg to be taken back

Meantime no harm in having stores.

I think that the government are happy to see the two sides against each other rather than questioning how the UK government offered a referendum without having made any plans for what would happen if the majority voted to leave.

How can the EU not have a fixed procedure for countries wanting to leave?

On the prepping side, I am hoping that it will encourage people to become more aware that perhaps a more simple way of eating, and life itself, is actually beneficial for themselves as well as their society. Why do we need strawberries in December?

So that's about as political I will get.
