Re: Prepping and climate change
We are screwed.Read this,and accept it for what it's worth.I am a cynical basta#d - or a realist. https://consciousnessofsheep.co.uk/2020/01/20/today-were-mostly-cooking-on-gas/ Perhaps I'm naive but I'm optimistic that we can keep the amount of warming between 2 and 3 degrees. The conclusion of th...

Re: Prepping and climate change
One small mercy is that the UK and Ireland will be one of the areas of the planet that suffers least from climate change. No free pass, but better than Australia or India and a hell of a lot better than the Gulf States where by mid-century it's forecast that it will be far too warm (even in the shad...

Re: Size does matter...
Swisscard lite, use it all the time, particularly the scissors and pen. Just a bit thicker than a credit card.

Tin Can Cook
Picked up Jack Monroe's new book today and had a read through it. As the title suggests, it's all about cooking food from tin cans and has 75 recipes. I have to say, was very surprised at how original she's been with the recipes, looking forward to trying out a few of them. This is gonna add so much...

Re: Augmenting the stash: Pesto etc.
Think you've hit the nail on the head Jenny. I was flicking through one of those cold war guides and it recommended just stockpiling what amounted to wheat, salt, powdered milk and beans to survive off for six months. After six weeks of that you'd be ready to face the fallout, never mind six months.

Re: How are you preparing for Brexit?
Quill, if you're talking about a couple of hundred pounds, I'm not sure that converting to Swiss Francs will preserve the value of your money (unless you're visiting Switzerland next year, of course). For that amount of money, the costs of the transfer will probably at least equal any preservation ...

Re: How are you preparing for Brexit?
So, what are the Gang's thoughts on money? Cash: Sterling, US Dollars or Euros ? Money in the bank or in the hand? PM's, Worth the hassle or not?
