Re: Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve? How well do you stock rotate?

Re. Hunting with dogs- sadly hare coursing is a bit of an issue around here and the guys that do it are pretty scary, not to be confronted, it's just a 999 call to the police. Does give a bit of a sobering insight into what the world might be like when the supermarkets are empty.......
