Re: Mortgage defaults rising...
Back in 1990 our mortgage was 15.25% interest rate. When it came down to 8% by about 93/4 we thought it was great! At the beginning we earned about £250 a week BETWEEN us. These days it’s £200 a day for many! But the current’moaners’ still want holidays,latest phone,subscriptions blah blah. Back th...

Re: Are you a good swimmer?
I'm a terrible swimmer but I can do a slow, splashy couple of hundred metres if I had to.
Oddly when I was diving, there were far worse swimmers than me in the dive club despite having to do a swim test as part of the training (I did 200m on my back slowly).

Re: New member from SE
Hello, I'm in SE UK too (East Sussex). Population density is around 4 people per football pitch so bugging out is going to be busy :D Yes but the vast majority of people are in cities, towns or villages, and it could be that not many decide or need to bug out. You might be bugging out to a hotel or...

Re: Earthquake UK
I'm 1.9 miles from the sea and my garden is 18m above sea level (excuse the mixed units). If this unlikely tsunami charges up the English Channel, I'm history.

Re: Anybody got a air fryer
I have a small one bought out of curiosity (had some John Lewis vouchers and couldn't afford a B&O hifi) . Does oven chips, sausages, roasties etc a bit better and cheaper than the oven.
Thinking about getting a bigger one.
