It's really busy here right now, but I like the idea. I reckon if I can get everyone chatting and involved with each other, then there is a chance of getting something more concrete in place. We'll give it a go.
BP, we all live by our own lights, and I respect your ways. As far as I am concerned, a small community is going to work better for us, but, hey, each to his own.
One word of caution...
Watch what you say and to whom.
People label you crazy to prep. BUT will be the ones remembering what you said when things happen and be beating a path to your door with all their family and friends in tow....

Get your neighborhood group together, maybe for a picnic or covered dish lunch some weekend. Invite everybody - you can sort out the losers later.
Thats one thing that I'm really jealous of certain parts of the u.s for Jonas, it has a good strong sense of community, with the forced immigration policy over here that's tended to shatter communities and each "country" group develops its own enclaves.
But having said that our sense of community pretty much went after the 2nd world war.
American people I speak to are generally honest, unfortunately most British people have a self serving agenda of their own, two faced you'd call it...
Like my neighbors for example, always watching, other people I've spoken to, know people who collect names addresses etc... to pass on should they ever need too.
No sir, the u.k. isn't such a great place anymore, its such a shame, it could be but....
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...
