Re: In the event of nuclear war...

Just with regards to 'wanting to die' and the realities of that. Many will not want to survive a nuclear war, but 1. We may not know whether the war is survivable or not. It may be full-on, it may be limited. 2. You will need to make the ultimate decision to live or die in: a/ The lead up to war. S...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

There’s nowhere to run to. There’s nowhere to hide. The government would in all likelihood impose a travel ban so unless you have a yacht, you couldn’t get out of the country. I can see Edinburgh Castle from my window, it’s the natural aiming point for any missile coming in and Edinburgh is one of ...

Is it likely, or rare? What are the consequences? I might try again, probably next year. I took the frame and net ...

Re: 24hr Spot prices Live

My buying is taking a hiatus at the moment. I just can't justify the price to be honest, although my purchases to date are showing a 13% return. This is one of my emergency funds/shush money for my relatives that the tax man doesn't know about. Selling it all to make the profit and gambling the pri...

Re: Kale

Have saved a corner of the microscopic back garden for growing veg. And what I think would be most use to us is Kale. In Scotland, kale is big :mrgreen: - my granny called her entire back garden the kailyaird, although I'm sure there would've been loads of veg init, not just kale. So I'm looking fo...
