Blackout Britain

Cheers Paul, I think I may have finally got my wife onside for prepping. I mentioned stocking extra gas bottles & long life food "incase the fridge & freezer goes off". Then i added "Obviously if there is no power, we can't buy stuff from the supermarket either as their tills won't work". She seemed to agree & said "yeah, go for it".

As for your point about importing from elsewhere, you're spot on. Didn't Russia turn the gas taps off to one of their neighbouring countries because the govt was anti-kremlin? They disguised it by adding unreasonably high charges on the gas, knowing they simply couldn't afford it. When they didn't pay the 1st bill - no more gas. No gas means no heat (to the unprepared). No heat in winter means you die!!!
