Re: National grid (electric) look to suspend night time call outs to domestic power cuts

Yep agree totally. We're going backwards going forward :mrgreen: Hell, I read books about the wild west and the outback in Australia and people were so skilful at making do and coping. I think the younger ones might have lost those skills but a freezing cold winter or hot dry summer will soon sort t...

~~Jansman & Jan xx~~ But we're all in the same boat ultimately, just a lot of us don't know it yet. I even appreciate this tiny wee hamster hutch now as it'll be so easy to run when one of us is left.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
