"The Great Die Off"

[bigpaul]

the majority of people in the UK now live in cities, I think its about 85% of the population, so this will be the % that are mostly affected when the power goes down and deliveries stop arriving at the shops, most of the newer houses are all electric or electric and gas(i.e. gas central heating but the controls are electric) and very few will have any kind of "alternative" lighting, heating or cooking apart from a few perfumed candles they only use at Christmas. very few people these days have any kind of food stores and a larder is probably something their granny had. so as soon as the stores are empty and the few days food they had in the house are used up, they are stuffed.
