Is anybody else stocking up on food and toilet rolls?
Getting cash out of bank account in case the banks collapse?
Baracading your front door and prepared to bug in to avoid all the yellow vest protests aka Paris.......
I know there is panic selling going on in the property market, and tenants are not paying their rents and thinking they will get away with it for a long time with all the coming chaotic uncertainty

Thanks I'm thinking with 5 days until 12th March No vote.
Maybe this weekend is a good time to spend a small set sum on essentials.
I don't intend to get left at home without essentials.
Toiletries+freezer+full tank of petrol should suffice at least initially.
