There's this well known, and used, form of transport called the container ship. They aren't building the Thames Gateway ( not far from me) for nothing.

It was reported by Peston that Mrs May has announced she will soon issue technical notices to businesses and households- how to prepare for no deal.

Not sure what else it would mean.

I won't be starting! Why the heck would we - ridiculous idea!

Such glee emanating from posts from the prophets of doom! hmm

MawBroon Wed 18-Jul-18 18:56:40

We’re all doomed ah tell ye!

Fake news.

Mrs May has announced she will soon be issuing technical notices to businesses and HOUSEHOLDS in the event there is a no deal!

Hence the stockpiling...

I wouldn't depend on your freezer, MawBroon unless you've your own generator. Electricity supplies could be disrupted. Dried food and tins are the way to go!

Brexit: lights out for the UK

The blog post is far too long to copy and paste and too complex to pick bits out of. It's best to read it from about halfway down, when he starts talking about electricity supply

What do you mean “starting” ?
My freezer contents would see me through a nuclear winter grin

But seriously, stockpiling what? And whyever?

FlexibleFriend Wed 18-Jul-18 17:26:02

Stock piling what? I've clearly missed something.

MaizieD Wed 18-Jul-18 17:26:02

About Christmas time if we continue on the same trajectory.

Interesting that May declined to publish the implications of No Deal... but they're belatedly preparing for it...
