Prepping for Brexit thread

I didn't make my decision in 2016 until I entered the polling booth. I could always see both sides, and did feel that I had less of a right to a vote than the young people coming up, and they have enough problems as it is.

Now I am absolutely determined to vote one way or another (and it changes daily). I am quite well prepared for most things although I would have to lay in a few boxes of wine if it is going to be a prolonged issue. Mention today has been of 75% fewer lorries coming through from 3-6 months. Quite a few boxes then. I don't think a hard exit is a probability - it's just in there for the mix to keep the troops happy and threaten Brussels. But it's us against 27.

My memory is pretty awful these days and I will find out I have three unopened packets of a certain spice, for instance. I don't want to overdo it as it would be such a waste but I won't want to shop if the stores are like jumble sales with lots of empty shelves. I hope that I can get enough planted up in the spring to give me a good supply of food by mid-summer, and then the pressure would be off. I think we should all check our cars out and if our tyres are on the edge of being legal, then get them changed whilst they are still easily available. There is nothing worse than being in a position of having to buy something at a vastly inflated price just due to lack of availability. Maybe now would be a good time to get your boiler serviced.

I'd still vote remain. Nothing that is happening makes me think leaving is a good idea.

I really am not sure what I would do.......I am truly fatigued by it all.
While it is easy to say this or that should have been done back in 2016, I think the error was to not have a clear margin set in the first place ie 6o% or nothing, the outcome was too close for comfort. So here we are:(


Am I wrong or way back then didn't we pay to join.....when others since haven't......and we will pay high to leave,

I did my weekly shopping in Aldi yesterday. It seemed busier than usual, and I noticed some trollies piled up quite high, including water and tins. I'm wondering if preparation is now starting to become a 'thing' in the general population. I'm still carrying on with my policy of getting a bit extra each week.

The trouble is how do you know if you have 'enough', or if you have gone OTT with the prepping.

I'm fed up with the uncertainty of it all

Another one here who is completely fed up to the back teeth with it all. It seems like a Pandora box has been opened and we are never going to hear the end of it.
