Hello from Birmingham

Post by RichardR1948 »

One of my brothers is also a 'just in case' person. The other one thinks we're mad. My wife says nothing and lets me get on with it....especially when I'm proved right. My parents think I'm sensible....and it would appear that there are a few other sensible people!!!!

A quick question. Do you tell people that you are a Prepper so they can also 'prep' or do you keep quiet so that you have an advantage when it all goes wrong?

I dont tell anyone I'm a prepper... I just bring prep related topics up in conversation to bring people on board little by litte.. Softly softly catchy monkey :)

Many thanks for the quick responses. Everyone said the same thing which means that when it all goes wrong they'll be 423 people + family heading for the same cottage in Scotland! Still, that's a better ratio than 62 million.

Another question...some people have Area 7, Area 10 etc on their profile. What does that mean?
