I have practical knowledge regarding sheep......usually have a few dozen in winter time.

Just a brief look and he certainly seems almost a unique breed, suggesting there's not enough money in the system!  He's not wrong about where the 'stimulus' went though. I'll give it a read. Thanks.

I think he's right actually, probably stemming back to the privatisation of all the organisations back in the 80s. Yes they raised money to fund tax cuts, but that was a one-off, unfairly balanced against the loss of income (BT & water boards), price control (British gas & electricity boards) and regular government (British rail & British steel). And right-to-buy income had to used as council funding and not funds for council house building programmes.

Wow, this list is getting longer by the day!  Seriously though, there are some very good suggestions being mentioned.

I have a notebook where I list all my essential edibles so I can make a note of prices, where I buy them, how many I have in stock etc and find it a big help when I'm doing my shopping lists.  I think there will be a few items being added, thanks all for the ideas.

I watched the YouTube video of Part 1 of The Depression Diaries and it was a bit scary how so many of the things mentioned almost a year ago are coming true. Its seems to be history repeating itself. !!!!

Just recovering from a bad stomach bug which entailed getting emergency medical advice after 12 hours with my head or bum in the toilet. The doctor asked if I had any rehydration sachets or imodium. I didn't. He prescribed them and an antisickness pill. The only problem them was finding someone to collect it. I was so bad he offered to refer me to A and E. I declined with the option change my mind if I got worse.
