Why? No power / nothing electronic working means no CCTV - so no chance of repercussion. The only reason so many people have been convicted of looting in the London riots is due to them being caught on candid camera - nothing to do with actual police work.

If the power is out, all electrickery has given up and your car won't start then it's highly unlikely it's going to be localised - so get shopping - oh, you can't as no one can take card / cash if the power is down. Well, what option does that leave you? 1) Stay at home 2) take the chance and help yourself. I'd be helping myself as soon as possible - I want to beat that crowd to all the good stuff. I also want to get it over and done with before the old bill arrive to keep order.

All very good points.

My issue, especially with where we live, is how we would get out 'bounty' (I feel like a pirate) back to where we live.

Thankfully that's not really an issue for me - I'm only a 10 minute walk to the supermarket. Just buy yourself a trolley in preparation - they're only £1!

I'd have a decent wheelbarrow ready to go, or even a couple of those old lady shopping carts (the ones you see them pulling along) ready to load up and drag home.

If only the cars were working - you could just reverse through those nice big windows, fill up the boot then drive out...
