It sounds likely that we will be asked to stock up on food

Well Maccy’s is out of the question, they are no good after a quarter of an hour.

I’ll admit, I’m a bit baffled. I sort off understand the good sense of it but it seems doomed to create panic buying.

It seems …

The reports come on the back of the European Union warning its citizens to [stockpile 72 hours’ worth of food in the event of war.

Okay … for starters,will my GP be prepared to write some extra prescriptions so I can stockpile my medication.
But if we’re only talking 72 hours … most folk probably have reserves for that long anyway.
If this is a Burnham Brainwave I’m starting to get anxious.

We just a got a huge load of groceries this afternoon so we are stocked up on food and wine. Not because Foxy suggested it - it’s because we have our lovely friends from Georgia (where my wife is from).

that reminds me of a little ditty.

Te Lord be praised
My belly raised
An inch above the table
And I’ll be damned
If I ain’t crammed
AS full as I am able

There’s a big difference between panic buying and making sensible and considered provision. Admittedly my own back up supplies need some attention, something I must attend to !

So it looks unlikely our government will be telling us to stock up then?

Apparently if you have a garden, you can dig a well on your property without too much cost or trouble. Of course if all your neighbours dig one too you’re in trouble.

The idea is to stock up on foods you can eat without heating them up.

Please don’t tell me there’s going to be a shortage of toilet paper again!
I’m only just recovering from the last fiasco…

That shortage was due to people not using both sides of the toilet paper

Back in the day the prospect of using even one side was a deterrent to visiting the bathroom…

What larks!
