    I'm a fat g*t and therefore no prepping needed. I have my own personal stores.[emoji1787]

      Probably so...

      And to be honest no one really needs to eat Kale do they...

          Nah, you let people know you're prepping and when they turn up .... well, no one will miss a few thieving scrotes, and they do say human flesh tastes like pork

            Plenty of dried beans, but yes a few dozen tins of baked beans would be handy provided they last two or three years without corroding the insides of the tins.

            No firearms as yet, but am toying with the idea of kitting myself out with a few bows. I think there's some guy in Devon who makes longbows.

            And some of those radios better have valves in case there's an EMP.
            Hmm, mine is a fairly up-to-date model, but being fairly compact is maybe resistant to EMP. Not sure I can say the same about the antenna cable though

              Only if you scoff enough Vitamin B12 pills.

              Without that your body can't burn the fat (nor do several other useful things such as healing wounds or making red blood cells), and you can die of starvation while still as fat as a beached whale!

                Joking aside - I wish I could, my Chemotherapy drugs are made in the EU & the UK does not hold stockpiles of them as they are horribly expensive & fairly niche.

                Not a lot I can do about it other than wait & see what happens.

                  Why are people 'prepping' because according to the main Leave campaigners, everything is going to be ticketty boo, or were they lying?
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    It isn't just about Brexit. The Chinese are getting pretty uppity and pushy, and claim to have hypersonic cruise missiles and all kinds of gizmos the West can't counter.

                    Then there's Iran and North Korea, among others. So there's every chance that sooner or later everything will go tits up or, in prepper jargon, the SHTF!
