Re: In the event of nuclear war...
Society would in fact, break down. You see it in the Ukraine and what happened in Israel. Wipe away the very thin veneer of civilisation and we are no better than the Crusaders, sacking the city of Antioch. I'm not saying it won't or doesn't happen, but I haven't seen reports of food riots or socie...

Re: Value Range foods compared
Although its stocking two different tins, I'd be more likely to do that..... I think storing ingredients rather then whole Agreed. I just wanted something that I could use in regular diet without having to store any leftovers. I'm not saying "Do it my way" and you make a good point on sim...

Shed repair adventure has commenced to plan A. Currently on stilts on one long side with the bottom 30cm of wall removed. A frame repair has been made for that side, ready to go in tomorrow.

Re: Value Range foods compared
Being totally frugal, You could get better value for money buying Stockwell beans at 28p and a few tins of Ye olde oak sausages at up to 79p at B&M . Those sausages have more flavour, though they are MRM chicken and pork. Although its stocking two different tins, I'd be more likely to do that.....

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener
My Grandfather (a man who was still running three allotments in his 70's) had no permanent paths at all in any of his plots, but that site had been laid out with four feet of common-ground between plots and eight foot headlands (large enough to back a 'muck cart' down them).
