Mines combi but needs electric to run. Freezers would be off too, not sure how long they keep food frozen for while offYet they want everyone to have an electronic car which will plug into the grid
It depends on your boiler, ours is a combi so have electric back up if our tank runs out of hot water or stops working. Unless you have electric heating you should be using a gas supply.
Please can you post the link to this? I’d like to read so I know exactly how bad things could potentially get.Just read (admittedly in MSM) that the national grid are warning of black outs this winter?! Wtaf?!
I know this is a silly question but surely that means we won’t have heating either as ur boiler needs electric to work? This country is a shit hole!
Someone’s just refuted it with an energy sector bigwig on Andrew Marr, who I trust more than the daily Mail lol.Can someone please tell me the facts? As I’ve already stated, I’m very anxious about what is going on currently.
I am panicking badly. The articles about lack of food, industry potentially having to shut down. What can I do?
I want to be prepared now. Please help?

Reading articles written by the papers is not going to help. There is no proof to any of their articles (petrol crisis is a prime example. They just drove the panicking…) all they do is write the articles to sell papers and get advertising revenue. They don’t care what truth there is in what they write.Can someone please tell me the facts? As I’ve already stated, I’m very anxious about what is going on currently.

I want to be prepared now. Is there anything I should buy to be prepared? Matches, more candles, blankets, batteries, torches, tinned food, camping gas stove? Please help?

I think it would be sensible to have a basic stock of things like candles, batteries and tinned food.Can someone please tell me the facts? As I’ve already stated, I’m very anxious about what is going on currently.

I stopped reading the daily mail etc as most is just scare mongering. However, I do have a cupboard in my bedroom that has two extra packets of pasta, 4 tinned tomatoes, 4 baked beans, 4 tins of soup and a couple of tinned fruit and tinned veg. Packets of noodles and porridge oats and a couple of long life milk. It's something I do every year running up to winter, I don't drive so get online food shopping and one year the snow was bad so the van couldn't come out. I also think if I were poorly and couldn't get out at least I would have something in. It's all stuff we use anyway(apart from the long life milk) so it gets used up regardless in the end or would be donated to someone that would make use of it. It's just a safety net, nothing major but makes me feel better.Can someone please tell me the facts? As I’ve already stated, I’m very anxious about what is going on currently.

I'd add a footnote about first checking the cupboard and just writing down what you'd use, when, what's OK cold etc - no need to do a meal plan, just get an idea of how many days it's likely to last.Re prep - it’s very subjective, surely? I’d suggest doing anything that alleviates your anxiety.
All that was missing in my Tesco delivery today was Tortilla crisps. Got loo roll, bread etc. Everything the Daily Fail says we have none ofBeen to Tesco tonight before I saw the ridiculous headline in the fail - no shortages anywhere. Is this the SE again?
My village has a power cut at least once a day. Not going to help that they are building all around and we don't have the infrastructure to support any more homes. What do they care, they promise the earth and as the last worker leaves the site they give you the finger.My local tesco is pretty normal. Occasional shortage of things (oats and pasta this week) but usually back in by the following week.
I think part of it is people have got too used to living in an on demand/always get what they want/need society.
And although I get the occasional powercut, they are rarer than maybe the 80s and 90s...and even then they were pretty rare
I also have a bit of extra food at home (pasta plus pesto / tinned tomato, cereal, tinned soup, biscuits etc) and it came in handy when I was so ill after the 2nd vaccine. I basically stayed in bed for five days and it was a relief not having to go to the supermarketI stopped reading the daily mail etc as most is just scare mongering.

Yeah that's another reason. If you get sick and you don't have someone who can look after and shop for you it's handy to have an emergency stash to see you through a few daysI also have a bit of extra food at home (pasta plus pesto / tinned tomato, cereal, tinned soup, biscuits etc) and it came in handy when I was so ill after the 2nd vaccine.

B&M and home bargains do some nice glass oven to table stuff. I only use glass now.I really need to go to ikea and get some glass food storage to food prep. If I'm ever poorly it'll be quick/less energy to feed the kids or my 10 year old can reheat it if needs be
Thanks I'll take a look there too xB&M and home bargains do some nice glass oven to table stuff. I only use glass now.
Oh yeah it has definitely always been around. All the hymns back then were about the poor being poor because God chose it. I was more talking about the modern reality TV side of it - endless programmes and people watching out of some weird curiosity. We had a chance for attitudes to change but sadly it has steadily got worse.start in the 2010s either. This country has a long history of it. The victorians thought that if you were poor, it was because you were immoral in some way. The mindset inspired Charles Dickens in many of his books. He was able to empathise better with the poor because he’d grown up in poverty himself.
