so, when will you be starting stockpiling I wonder?

Oops!
Nowt wrong with fluffy kittens but I am not so sure about Taylor Swift!
Might be better going to Radio iPlayer.
Worth a listen even if you are (like me) not necessarily ND’s greatest fan most of the time.

Good post doodle

BTW, we have some cute kittens!

Don't tempt me ???

There are actual ways and means for ordinary people sometimes to store certain preserved foods , tins and so on, which may well become very handy to have in reserve.

I do realise that - come and see my store cupboard Alexa

I always keep a well stocked cupboard.
Not because of brexit, but because I have worked shifts for years, so like to know I have 'stuff' in.

I made a mistake about the nature of this post and was quite enjoying it when I believed it was lighthearted.
I have kept dipping in to see how it was going.
My opinion is that I think I was wise to drop out.
There has been a mention of civil war (by Amazon) if we leave the EU without a deal.
I think it’s starting here on GN already.??

Maybe the BBC should start showing Publc Service Broadcasts on how to Pickle, Ferment and dry foods in preparation.
During the 50s just about every house in the street where I luvd kept chickens or pugs. Most still had their back gardens planted with veg. And the front gardens were filled with flowers.

Sorry! Didnt spell check before posting.
Lived
Pigs

I'd prefer a pug, Joelsnan. My parents kept a large and very bad-tempered pig during the war. They lived in a pub and it once chased my mum into the Gents' and wouldn't let her out.

Joelsnan I admit I was intrigued by the possibility we were going to have to start eating pugs.

What be the fate of all this stockpiled food if Armageddon doesn't happen?

It can be donated to food banks to help out the people who are struggling in the here and now

Like the millennium cupboard ?

jura since you have now used part of my original post as some sort of ammunition, if anyone cares to go back ( probably on the first page) and read my post which started
‘It’s a joke’ it was a light hearted comment and wasn’t against any other posters, it was to show you that you had taken my comment seriously when I said I I had marmalade etc that was British and I would keep a stiff upper lip.
Yes, this thread was ridiculous from the start, so that part is certainly true.

Off now, to dig for victory!

In this heat, lemon

Well....you may be right, I shall settle for a bit of light pruning or collecting the tomatoes.

We'll eat it, merlotgran.

Sorry if this is already here..too busy pickling beetroot to read 19 pages
I have an acquaintance in the Home Office... in the Brexit team.... says all options have plans and predictions but all embargoed. No one can make a decision.One decimates Tory party the other decimates the nation.

.One decimates Tory party the other decimates the nation.

I think he was saying to go back to the people for a second vote would decimate Tory party but to go ahead will decimate the nation. Not able to give proper info as civil servant bound by OSA

Ferment
Fermented foods are very popular at the moment (full of probiotics apparently?)

I like pugs too, Joelsnan, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

collecting tomatoes - you have some already then lemongrove? Ours are still green.
Any lemons down your way by any chance?
To put in my gin (gin keeps doesn't it? I shall have to stock up the store cupboard).

I don't remember the Leave campaign warning us that we would have to stockpile food in advance of brexit because leaving the EU would cause such havoc that supermarket shelves would be empty. Do any of you remember that warning? Vote Leave for rationing?????

Oh Varian dead horses and flogging.
Do you really think this conversation is going to go anywhere?
Everything that needed saying has been said, not to mention a whole lot that didn’t really

On lemons, since jalima was asking: I have (well, my gut has) become intolerant of citric acid in the last few years. Interestingly I decided a while back that I prefer G&T without lemon or lime. I wonder now if my taste-buds were trying to tell me something.
