delusional

[MaryN]

It's just laughable, isn't it? As BP says, a wet winter in British woods is not a nice place to be. Just add a few factors to that - perhaps youngsters or a screaming baby, winter flu or the norovirus and you could be in for a really cheery time. I simply cannot imagine anyone being idiot enough to think that bugging out in the UK is an option. It may be if you have the wilds of Alaska on your doorstep - good iuck and watch out for the bears - but in an overcrowded little country like this one well, you have to be delusional.

I still think that the way to go is in developing strong little local communities that can back each other up in times of woe and hardship. I may well be delusional in that wish, but there you go.
