We have been advised by the government to stockpile for 3 days but I am not clear why? Is it weather conditions or interference from hostile states? Or is it a government ploy to distract us from the Budget which will containing huge tax rises for some ?

If it’s for drinking then water stored from the tap wouldn’t be suitable, bacteria would grow in it over time. Just use that for flushing the toilet.

A jug of water will last a couple of days at this time of year. Most regions would still have water in a powercut, it's not all pumped.

You can replace it every now and again you know! Of course it's suitable.
