The Brexit Cupboard Part 2

[PerverseConverse]

Following on from the fantastic thread of the weekend, I thought we'd continue discussing our brexit cupboards and boxes here. Here's to all the preppers and their cupboards, no matter what they contain. (Keep quiet about your stash in real life).

Link to original thread:

DH and his Brexit cupboard http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3489905-dh-and-his-brexit-cupboard

Well done for setting another thread up. Gotta love that cupboard. My cat will try and hide in it.

Hi all!

Bosses of Sainsbury’s, ASDA, M&S, Co-op, Waitrose, KFC, Pret, Lidl, McDonald’s, Costcutter and the British Retail Consortium write to MPs warning about the dangers of a no-deal Brexit for choice, quality and cost of food. twitter.com/TomBoadle/status/1089879657871278082

The original OP's DH should have a smug smile on his face now that the chief executives of a number of retail food businesses have confirmed that having a Brexit cupboard well-stocked larder might not be such a bad idea.

We need Graphista's FAQs here.

Just going to stick on my 3 day suggestion not again Please ignore if you've read it before. Surely it must get a special Brexit Bingo prize by now:

Imagine you are snowed in for three days. What will you and your family actually eat? Get freezer friendly and/or shelf stable versions of that. What are your hygiene needs - toothpaste, sanpro, shampoo. Make-up too if it makes you feel good.
Think about snacks and treats. And entertainment. Because being stuck indoors is boring.
Why 3 days? It's doable and storable and keeps you away from the shops while you suss out how things are locally. Want to do more? Plenty of advice on MN.

yy to Graphistas FAQ and the new Brexit Dictionary too please

Shouldn't this be on AIBU like the first thread or did it get moved already?

Howdy

Brought my groundhog with me.

bellini yes, again and again and again.
As often as it needs to be said.
You have shown amazing generosity and patience with your advice on this and many other threads.

Sweeeeeet!

Tbe sweeet was to @Scandaloso . Putting my not giddy with animal photos hat back on, thank you @CountessConstance

Hello all, thanks for the new thread Perverse.

I'm coming in but I'm off as soon as the fuckwits appear.

Interesting graphic from BBC

I would like to discuss how generous I'm supposed to be with all the family members who are wilfully refusing to prep for when the shit hits the big old fan.

Especially the ones with young DC. Hard to say No if asked to bake a loaf of bread and hand over four tins of spaghetti for little ones.

Shall I prep for them as well?

Updated definitions in the new Brexitannian English Dictionary:

PANIC : taking gradual action, in January, for an event in March.

SMUG: having taken gradual action in January.

SHORTAGES: something that will definitely happen in January, when supply chains are not disrupted, due to PANIC (see above), but somehow will definitely not happen in March, when supply chains are disrupted.

CAUSATION: people who buy smoke alarms in January cause fires in March.

BLITZSPIRIT: something apparently very good and quintessentially British, a highly desirable state of the nation, which will come about in March (but not in January) due to the SHORTAGES (see above) which are not going to happen in March (but are in January).

ARMY: SMUG (see above) group who are UNPATRIOTICALLY PANICKING (see above).

BELITTLING: asking basic questions of someone with whom you are in conversation in order to identify whether you are both proceeding from the same level of comprehension of the relevant issues.

STOCKPILE: simultaneously
(1) a hoard of essentials literally taken from the mouths of proper ordinary people by posh elites who have pushed prices up and CAUSED (see above) SHORTAGES (see above),
(2) a hoard of luxurious irrelevant fripperies like caviar and au pairs, that only posh elites care about thus irrelevant to proper ordinary people,
(3) a vast load of stodgy unappetising inedibles, not proper food, that no proper ordinary people would want anyway, and which will end up being thrown away and wasted thus destroying the environment thanks to posh elites.

Screamish - thank you, I appreciate that.

Maybe some other people on here can take a look at how they actually react to people for asking a fairly simple question. Hope your all proud of your personal insults!

thanks Elements

Given that all the news outlets are running the story about the BRC's letter and the EU are now saying no-deal more likely, I wonder if there will be some real panic buying soon?

I’m loving the quote for the EU negotiator about UK political discussions on The WA: “much of the conversation is uninhibited by any knowledge of what is actually in the WA”
