How are you preparing for Brexit?

[jansman]

I am with Deeps.I am no investor either.Also diamond lil,cash in hand,bang on! *IF* there is panic buying,there *MAY* be a bank run too.It happened at Northern Rock.It will only take a tv or newspaper article to sow the seeds of doubt in Joe Public. So we keep a drop of cash around.Sterling.Because that is our currency,and our corner shop takes it!

Regarding precious metals,forget it.*IF* we were in that situation then at the beginning at least,nobody will trade with you as it is an unknown medium to most people.Mine is strictly for turning into cash in my later years.

Quill, if you're talking about a couple of hundred pounds, I'm not sure that converting to Swiss Francs will preserve the value of your money ....

I had meant that i had a few hundred pounds in cash! Sorry for the confusion.

No probs, I'm glad to hear that was just my confusion

It is an interesting idea.Even if the information is relatively local.For instance,I live near Loughborough,pseudonym lives in Melton,and I know we have other members in Leicestershire.How would you go about it though? Would you ring round and ask, " do you have any Thyroxin? "

I have phone numbers of chemists near me

Anyway has anyone thought about electricity supplies that we get via the Interconnecters from Europe. Especially if we get hit by another Beast from the East and have to draw power.
As per Jansmans orders
We are basically doing what we usually do concerning food supplies. Keep adding. My rice stash is a bit bigger than Itsybitsy 25kg
Have a lot of spices sealed away since I dont know if stuff outside EU will also be affected much. Not one for. Olives except olive oil. How long after expiry is olive oil edible?Not sure who on here suggested it but keep 2k as reserve. Not sure why people think they should be hoarding Euros PMs etc. If we crash out of EU then we do.

Forgot to mention that I am vacuum sealing a lot of tea bags
Also apolgise to Itsy for dig. Know she has lots more rice

One thing I do concentrate on is tea. I like a drop of ale, but I can live without that. Tea though, that is important. During the the Civil Defence years of the Cold War, central government factored in a tea ration for the population ( in theory) as they recognised it’s importance for morale. We are holding 3000 mugs of tea at the moment. That should last a couple of weeks at least!4

I hope you have enough sugar and milk too

We've stashed some vacum packed coffee packs already, but thinking now that our tea bag provision may be below par.

PG Tips of course. What else?

Yorkshire



When I'm at events or travelling light I drink my tea black, but I take milk if I'm somewhere with a fridge..... However I can't drink it black at home

[jansman]

PG for me too!

Talking to our Managing Director today about 'B'. I asked point blank what his views were.Succinctly,he said: " It's a f##### slow motion car crash.My financial man is moving most of my investments out of UK stocks. "
He also confirmed that there may be redundancies in the Spring,depending on the situation.All the more reason to keep prepping.

P.S. Picked up 6x passata at Home Bargains - 3 for a quid.And some more paraffin from the fuel merchant too.That'll be for the greenhouse in the Spring.

My god. I need tea to function. I NEED MORE TEA!!! *panic attack* - maybe up to Costco in the morning then
