Stocking up on Food Brexit.

Is the buddy the considerably younger boyfriend or is that someone different?

Not stocking up on anything just scare mongering again

What utter garbage. Really, I have to laugh at some posters likening Brexit to WW3.
I thought our generation were made of sterner stuff but you remainers sound ridiculous. Obviously, not a hardy breed.
We'll still be able to buy from our own market gardens and growers and it will be good for British businesses.
We eat and throw away far too much anyway.
Think of it this way. The 'slaves' in Spain's polytunnels working all hours for peanuts, won't have as much work to do and your conscience regarding their working conditions, will be salved by, as you predict, no EU produce being exported to the UK.
All good.

OH (we don't live together) is 23 years younger and running buddy is 31yrs old, married and a fitness instructor.

How do you know so much about these “hidden truths” Endre

Two different people. OH works.

so at Christmas you had the ex , the younger model and the buddy?

mmmm nice times.

My take (and I might be completely wrong) is that people stockpile so that if the rest of us go hungry in a 'worst case scenario', they can gloat and post comments here listing all the delicious meals they've knock up every day. They'll imagine we non-hoarders salivating and hallucinating and losing several stones weight-wise.
Well...dream on, is all I can say.

My ex lives in Monaco and Ireland. He wasn't here at Christmas and the buddy was with his family. I didn't start running until Jan 4th.

I hope you have all that info filed away for future reference Lily65
Daft blighter.
The interview is over.

I would like to offer a safe haven from Brexit to anyone who would like to use my spare room.

I'm a good, plain cook.
The very swish French-designed spare bed is extremely comfy and this is a smoke and pet-free house (though we do occasionally get a Praying Mantis looking for a nursery spot).

I could be persuaded to accept the occasional bottle of wine in lieu of rent. We'll share it, of course.

I couldn’t care less what I eat or drink, really I think it ll be good for this greedy nation to realise what it’s like to have to scrabble a bit and learn to be a bit creative
It’s so utterly ridiculous to have a room of food all neatly dated and piled up So sorry Endre I don’t mean to be rude but... It makes me think of all those silly people that went up a mountain expecting the end of the world
I haven’t got one person who I know who is stockpiling or even doing anything different except feeling mad and fed up with the whole situation
Calm down Endre the world won’t end and if it did not a lot we could do to stop it

Looks like the MNers are stocking up.

There has been a few threads recently
re Brexit and stockpiling.

Also a section called
Preppers who seem to be getting ready for Armageddon.

There is an interesting MN thread at the moment (sorry cant do links)
DH and his Brexit cupboard

It seems none of you know any LDS (Mormons). Part of my extended family are Mormon and stocking up is part of church guidelines, not for Brexit but wherever you live in the world.

(herbal or decaf only) oops, no.

Oh, that Mumsnet thread is so funny.

The forces are stockpiling food.
The government stockpiling meds
Supermarkets are stockpiling
I wonder why?

Oranges! they were very exotic at one point.

Lily65 I think your remarks are mean spirited. And definitely off thread. Please desist. It’s embarrassing for the rest of us TBH.

I’m beginning to think we ought to have a thread for any of you GN’s bearing (perceived) grudges of any kind to have their very own ‘gloves off’ site so they can all have a pop at each other - and the rest of us can then swerve it. ?

Cherrytree - we'll know where to go for dinner, then
(Don't think DIL and DS are stocking up though)

I don't think any posters are likening Brexit to WW3 (no-one knows what that would be like anyway) Gabriella.

There are very few on here who say they are stockpiling and it seems to be the Mumsnetters who are doing just that.

I don't understand your post because it's obvious that we Gransnetters are a resourceful lot.

Bradfordlass oh, yes please!!
We do have some Kiwi relatives but they now live in Australia.

You have said everything that needs to be said in support of Britain.
I couldn't agree more.

There is a post from a stockpiler making that reference. I'll post it when I look for it.

Mea culpa
I shouldn't have answered.

Goodness me! You may well be inundated with grandads offering copious bottles of wine and company if your post gets repeated ad infinitum on social media. ????????
