Greetings from Lancashire

Another day, another prepper. Hello everyone!

My name's Rick, I live in Lancashire and I've been 'into' preparedness and survival long before I discovered them as specific topics, rather than something I just did out of instinct.

The cold war years shaped my thoughts a lot, as did Terry Nation's Survivors series.

While I've always prepped in some way (I've had a survival and get home bag in the car for twenty years), over the last few years I've stepped up somewhat given what's happening here and globally.

Hopefully I can be a useful member here, as well as learning myself. I'm quite good on technical knowledge, having been an electronics and computer nut, as well as a science teacher.

So, that's me. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Rick.

Thanks for the welcome folks.

I've not seen St. Trinians for years - I can hear the music in my head even now.

Gin? Well, I have a distillation rig with a jacketed condenser... but the tax man says NO! (Who listens to him though...)

I used to get the kids making fireworks though, erm, sorry, doing fast 'Redox' reactions in a tube! They always enjoyed that lesson. Especially my slightly more powerful demos at the end.

Ah, that's ok. We wouldn't want to give the poor tax people any more work than they already have, would we now! Best not bother them, the poor sods oops souls will be needing their rest. I'll have a wee glass meself thanks
