Slow breakdown scenario

[bigpaul]

a slow collapse would be my theory(not my choice but how I expect it to go), so for a time although there may be some empty shelves deliveries would still get through if a little sporadic, use our food stores when nothing available then replenish as and when new deliveries arrive. I don't think it will take a hundred years for things to go downhill though, there are a lot more people about than when the Romans invaded, I still think we are talking months rather than years. look how quick things went down in Greece or in the old USSR.
