I've a quilted body warmer and quilted shirt if it gets chilly


I've those little 700w plug in heaters for each bedroom a 2kw fan heater and a 2kw convection heater for downstairs as a instantly deployable option if we loose gas / boiler goes on the blink ..

Before falling back onto the more preppy toys ... diesel heater, calor gas heater, bio ethanol heater...

Short term leccy kettle for hot water and bigger /longer outage the lpg water geezer with shower head accessory that will scare the neighbours me scrubbing my backside in the garden

And if anyone says hose pipe ban it'll run from a bucket with its own 12v pump

Nb if you've lost gas they will be round to lock it off you'll only be allowed to have it turned on once they've been and fully checked your home once the supply is restored.. its going totake a long time to go house to house .

You are on the priority register arnt you??

Get to boyes tomorrow for more gas

Nb lidl have various leccy heaters in so do b&m

[diamond lil]

Wow, not often you hear of the gas going off

[Yorkshire Andy]

[Peter]

And this is just accidental damage which could happen anywhere at anytime through carelessness.

Not sabotage, not a drone or missile attack, not a cyber attack, by the Russians or any other enemy.

So when it does hit the fan, country wide, we know the panic to expect from the general population.

The authorities, government, local councils, emergency services, utility companies, are not prepared
even for local emergencies, a water main hit by a digger (Wednesbury, West Midlands) caused local
flooding and took weeks to fix.

Well this is what we prep for, and preps for small or short term incidents help cover big ones.

Our basic needs are always the same, security, shelter, water, food, heating, cooking, lighting, medication.

I am on the priority fortunately
I've still got gas but literally hundreds and hundreds without
And yes they are going house to house and of course some people away / not in / elderly darent answer door ..
It sounds chaotic so many people without back up heaters etc ..cant bath their kids ..a lot out at bonfire and fireworks displays also ...


I'm over your way tomorrow and will be in Boyes
Won't call in to see the washing of the ass though but if you ever do it video the neighbours reactions !

No its not often you hear of this Diamond lil
I've just been wandering round my place looking for the switch off for gas and cant find it ...
Something to ponder .... Will grab one of my many torches and look in meter box outside...want to know now ...

It'll be on the pipe into the gas meter the other end of the Anaconder ( shiney ribbed hose that goes onto the gas meter regulator)

Thanks Y A
Learned a lot tonight about what hapoens if gas goes out
The house to house individually sounds so bad what a job it's going to be ...as Peter said this is someone chopping through a mains and taking out thousands of properties by accident. ..
Can you imagine a deliberate act and how the public would respond .
