We saw during Covid how many people only keep a day or two of basic food supplies in at any one time.
Which reminds me, I'm on my last pack of toilet roll so it's time to order 2024-5's box of 72.

The Daily Mail, scraping the bottom of every barrel imaginable. One story at a time.

Useless waste of paper and electricity.

I don't have a pet or a baby- do I still need to stock moggymeat & nappies?

Post-Apocalyptic tradable commodities.

Time to reacquaint ourselves with the 'preppers' thread...

Good thinking but I have a lot of fruit trees & make excellent homebrew. During covid I had 20 gallons of apple brandy for if the apocalypse were to happen.

(I trade it on a "drink now, pay later" basis- no money changes hands but a week later their kidneys fail.)

Yep, along with Coke bottle tops (the metal kind). I saw it on a documentary a few weeks ago.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw the pet food and figured it was for when you run out everything but pot noodles

Who on earth is Oliver Dowden? Oh I see, one of them, the deputy Prime Minister, never heard of him.

No news day, or bury bad news day? What do you reckon they have planned for us next? Launching the next pandemic and lockdown in conjunction with signing up to the WHO pandemic treaty?

If you run out use the daily mail instead, best use for it ....

Well, my prepper's solar setup was worth the investment, then! (Been dabbling in solar for a few months.)

Funny seeing the American prepper videos on tiktok, always amusing, saw one recently where a guy was advertising all his EMP proof items he's likely spent a fortune on, one being an EMP proof document safe, you know, to keep his paper documentation safe... from EMP's.

Exactly - now even stupid people are going to survive the apocalypse - the rest of us didn't need telling as we're already stocked up.

Maybe print up some sticky labels for use as needed - "Finest Apple Brandy", "98 RON FUEL", "Molotov Mix", "Brake & Carb Cleaner", "Industrial Paint Stripper"
