Armageddon?

Zomted

Soooo, is anyone else now deeply concerned about surviving brexit? This started out as me worrying about medication and planning how to stockpile it just in case (going fairly well!). Now I am starting to consider survival strategies in the hopefully not going to happen event of civil unrest and impending doom. I wish I was joking but I think this is potentially turning into my latest obsession! 

So what do we need? Water obviously and food, but what food?

  • I'm not concerned about it. It's not actually going to change much. Products will still be available, business will still continue. Businesses will find a way to get around any issues they encounter. It's not a nuclear war. What exactly are you afraid of?

    yep, maybe that first message came across a bit wrong/strong -  Im not afraid exactly. Even quite enjoying watching and wondering what the hell is going to happen, in a really twisted, warped, kind of way...though id rather it didn't happen. In fairness i dont actually watch the news, its quite hard to miss the main points though! 

    Nevertheless i now have a deep interest in how one would manage in the event that all hell did break loose... my obsession/intense interests don't always make a huge amount of sense! Mind you given the amount of disaster movies i watch perhaps this was always going to happen...

    We'll still be able to buy and import food, clothes, medicines, cars from other countries. It just might be a bit more expensive until we get new trade deals agreed. We'll still be able to travel, but the airport checks might take a bit longer. It's more of a nuisance than anything, but things will have a way of balancing out over time.

    Technically, things should be cheaper without having to pay the artificially-high EU prices if we are importing under WTO rules. I'm noticing that Tesco are quickly increasing prices - some more than 50% so they can blame inflation, Brexit, weak Pound, strong Dollar, Euro prices or any other convenient excuse to boost year-end profits.
