Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

I’m not one for pasta, but unless it is a joke, Ann Summers I think has a shaped pasta for sale 3 for 2, but when you read what the shape is, it’ll make you waver about buying ! :lol:

Re: Self Build to include a bunker

I guess calling it a bunker/panic room is a bad idea. Best something like basement games room, soundproof recording studio, etc., neighbours likely more accepting of such, especially if guaranteeing noise reduction as part of the planning. Sometimes using less worrying words or names for things will...

Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

Adapting to a new situation is a given, but prepping in order to at least get by with a bit of a modicum of comfort, at least in the initial stages of something long term, acquiring anything that helps the transition of having to not having, prevents an abrupt change of habits. That said, I do like ...

Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

I must admit to liking my teas and coffees, but never really considered buying powdered milk, or even checked to see if they still do that coffee-mate stuff...as recently read milk is also being depleted from shelves, and told to think about others more in need of stuff. Any recommendations for dece...

Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

I live alone, not a big eater as can’t afford to be anyway. Only tins and microwave dinners, plus sandwiches, making toast and pot noodles. No breakfasts, not always a lunch, dinners are definitely not knife and fork jobs, as in proper meals - can’t use cooker or oven. Don’t smoke, only vice being t...

Re: Lockdown?

I reckon conspiracy theorists would have a field day with this, likely suggesting that the whole thing has been exaggerated in order to test United worldwide reaction and prevention measures to source a pandemic it and keep it contained.

Re: They laugh at us stockpiling bogroll but...

I do believe in stocking up basics anyway, but more so now.

It’s funny how things like that are overlooked.

Hygiene, etc., is truly important....

Re: Greetings from wet & 'orrible Manchester i suppose...

T-K

Not been here long myself, but I’m interested to know what you find so interesting, I guess obviously being something you’ve not seen covered on another forum(s).

The fact that you joined to ask questions about it is quite intriguing...
