I find it amazing that 'we' are in a position where 'all our eggs are in one basket', seemingly. I have no doubt that 'we' were sleepwalked into this position by politicians. It is about time that their terms of engagement were re-written to include some personal responsibility and accountability just like the rest of us.
With regards to backups and alternatives - on a personal level we have no gas line here just oil or lpg or elec. We opted for lpg for heating and that is delivered by a diesel powered vehicle. Our personal transport is diesel powered. So we have a problem. Extra gas supplies are a little cumbersome and highly visible and extra diesel supplies could become a problem because our local authority now says that diesel is included as part of the petroleum regulations therefore one is limited by the amount one could legally/safely hold as a reserve.
I appreciate that a multifuel stove of some description could come into the equation here but our personal circumstances rule this out.
Greymatter is getting stressed -again.
