I noticed towards the end it says something about investing in S&S ISA because at least if your savings aren't in Stocks and Shares, they're as good as safe..... 

Apart from when the building holding the server gets nuked.

The guardian are totally playing on the US election.

As we often see on this forum, many people have frighteningly little financial knowledge. This applies to many otherwise well educated people because they have had a fear of maths drummed into them...more and better maths teaching is one of the few areas that me and Rishi agree, and I'd add financial literacy being taught in schools.

The Guardian is my goto newspaper (the Guardian Football podcast keeps me sane), but for financial matters it's a disaster, full of trite advice that is too often driven by financial firms like H&L.

I'm heading out to the woods with a shovel.

That worried me a bit

Gonna dig me a bunker.

Phew!

Would you like to know what I'm planning to put in it?

But getting back to the zombie thing, digging an underground shelter is the worst thing you can do. They'll find you and you won't have an escape route. Best to stay in the open and just keep walking with your trusty baseball bat by your side.

All we can hope for is they are just slow ones like in the Walking Dead. If they are more "28 Days Later" then I might as well just give up...

I think they realised that the zombies in TWD were too easily disregarded, hence the shift to human on human conflict in the later seasons.

Makes you wonder about reality, if a zombie outbreak did happen, after countries regained control, I wonder if they would weaponise them and then start releasing zombie armies on their enemies...
