Brexit survival guide: Stockpiling Food

You’ve stockpiled sufficient wood for your cooking needs? (Next summer you might be able to use a solar cooker if the current weather trends continue).
 
All very well posting up a picture of these puddings - but try actually BUYING THE FUCKING THINGS - again, not listed on any of the major supermarket web sites - could very well be yet another victim of enforced "health living" I fear

Please prove me wrong though

A bit more googling and I find that they have indeed been discontinued by Heinz . . . about 3 years ago :facepalm: <sigh>
 
Oh! I thought it was just because I live in a crap small town. Local Sainsbury's had hardly any bread or frozen things this week - I assumed they were stocktaking.
 
when we leave europe, it will start pissing down again, like at the end of 'passport to pimlico'

:p
Ha! at Europe. I still remember school trip to Bavaria. Whenever it rained, our friendly hosts said "haha and LOLS.* We have Scottish weather today". Hmm, how do you get all that nice forest and field and trees and lakes and stuff if rain is so foreign to you? :hmm:

* admittedly, they did not say "LOLS".

A friend's just been in Northern Spain on holiday. After saying how much it chucked it down while he was there, he then commented (as if it was completely unrelated), how green it was.

Being Scottish, really would've thought he'd know better :facepalm:

Seriously? I really would tend to assume they were stocktaking and had mucked up their normal ways of doing so. Possibly by stupidly laying off staff? I don't know, really. But I do find it a bit hard to believe we're all going to find empty shelves very soon.

Haha! Isn't there some old "wise man of the mountain" type of supposed saying to the effect that we always know ourselves least?

Still, he'll be glad to be back in Scotland then, with not enough rain. :D We want rain and we want it now!

I had thought it was because of the hot weather or the world cup, when bbq-ish foods were absent, but now it's spread through the shop - there were no courgettes or tomatoes last night, for example, and a whole row of freezer cabinets were completely bare.
