personally, I don’t know anyone who is stockpiling. If I did, I would ask them not to – it’s immoral.
Tinned food lasts quite along time, though. At least two websites have developed, and if you know people who aren’t worried about the prospect of shortages, then perhaps they need to think about just what no-deal means a little more.
Extra looroll may come in handy.
Mustn’t grumble, mustn’t grumble.
17 January, 2019 at 3:26 pm #1111269So you don’t know anyone who is stockpiling or hoarding then?
Also I was rather hoping for some advice.
When you say tinned food do you mean rice pudding? fray bentos pies? Hot dog sausages?
17 January, 2019 at 3:33 pm #1111271Skep I admire your Brexit survival tactics.
Tbf you been banging on about it every single day for 2 years.
Push has come to shove and you suggest tinned food is the answer?
17 January, 2019 at 3:43 pm #1111272Skep if you want to play bear grylls fine.
But at least give me a indication on what sort of tinned food I should be stockpiling please.
17 January, 2019 at 3:51 pm #1111273Guys going on holiday take care all sane people.
Linda will be reporting on my behalf.
I will try to find a place that does tinned food x

sorry, what you on about? I’ve not talked about stockpiling before. I don’t agree with it, and I’m not yet seriously contemplating it.
I know of people, I don’t know them personally. Diana Coyle is the only one who admits it, and if you ask her how to stockpile bangers and mash she’d look at you for about the space of a couple of seconds before walking off.
If you must know, then a Facebook group called the 48% Preppers has gained almost 1,000 new members in the past month, while on Mumsnet, the parenting website, people are swapping tips on frozen grapes and avocado, and details of World Trade Organization tariffs on cheese. There’s also a book about to appear called Tin Can Cook by Jack Monroe, using only cupboard ingredients.
One woman has cleared her outhouse to make space for a Brexit stockpile and published her own list of essentials, ranging from the exotic (olives and coconut milk) to pre-single market staples such as Spam Lite and tinned prunes.
If you read me seriously, you’ll see that I will write more on it if necessary, because I’m quite optimistic that no-deal will die the death quite soon. I may be wrong, but I’m hoping it will be off the table and all these people stockpilng this early will be seen as paranoid idiots – I’m hoping.
18 January, 2019 at 4:52 am #1111280I thought I knew some nutters!
Spam, olives, tinned prunes, coconut milk.
And shes cleared a space for these everyday essentials!
This just gets better!
Tell you this much bet shes going to get the squirts on a daily basis.

Well, when you’re short you’d be surprised what you’re ready to eat..in Paris during the siege more than 100 years ago, people caught cats for food, and even broke into the zoo to kill two elephants. In the US during the 1930s Depression, I read some gut-wrenching stories.
But as I said, they will be seen to be paranoid idiots – I hope.
