Re: A Texan in Surrey
Thank you for the kind words, Jenny. Yes, the British character does differ from the American -- from a 'prepping' point of view -- or perhaps, rather, from a 'survival' point of view, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Americans have less trust in their own government's ability to look after...

Re: Wilko Collapse
When the peaks of two waves coincide, they are 'reinforced' and their size ('amplitude') increases -- at sea, these are called 'rogue waves'.
