Village Preps

[River Song]

I had a surprising eye opener last night. Me and the OH had gone to the village hall for the Harvest Supper - generally filled with old geezers like ourselves - not that much fun but one of those things you have to do.

Anyway we were sitting opposite our neighbours from across the road and the subject came to loss of power. (It's amazing the conversations that "The Blackout" has engendered -- made it a lot eaqsier ....)

I commented that loss of power means loss of water. My neighbour commented that there is a spring at the bottom of his garden !!!!!!
Deep Joy.

He also told me that the parish council had started drawing up emergency plans! - So off I troiled to see the chairman of the parish council who told me that theres an ex police officer who is heading up the drafting of the planning and they were currently making a list of people who hold certain equipment that could be used in an emergency.

He also said that they had authorised the purchase of 3 x baofengs UV5R's --- our parish council doesn't like to spend money so this was a minor miracle. One of the things that they want to do is create a 'prep list' for all the houses in the village on what to store etc etc.

I wonder how far this is duplicated up and down the country. What do you think? Please do not tell me that this is TPTB preparing us a for a false flag incident. I don't want to know.

I do think it might be a way to contribute to the greater good.

Even OH is now telling me to get involved. Wonders never cease.
