Will you be disappointed if Brexit goes smoothly

[Tawdrylocalbrouhaha]

Genuine question to the Preppers - how will you feel if Brexit goes through with no significant shortages or civil unrest? Will you heave a sigh of relief and sleep better at night, or feel a tiny bit flat and disappointed?

It's the slightly excited tone of some of the Prepper threads that has me wondering this. As if having a reason to hoard is fulfilling some squirrelesque instinct, which my be thwarted if the hoards prove unnecessary?

Jack Munroe said that she thinks if you’ve got the money and the space to do a bit of stockpiling you should. Then if everyrhing’s fine you can either donate it to a foodbank or gradually use it, and it everything’s not fine you’ll be able to keep out of the shops and leave what there is to the people without the money or the space to stockpile. I though tht was a very sensible approach.

You'd be vacum packed and frozen, to be eaten at a post-Brexit date.

BeLeavers don't like sensible. It's a forrin concept to them.

Was in Morrisons this morning.
Went to walk into aisle 5(where the tins are kept) and there was a rather large tracky bottomed female blocking the aisle with a trolley full of beans and spam.
Asked me which way I voted in the referendum. When I said it was none of her business she tried to hit me on the head with a tin of spam.
What was that all about?

Oooh GF

The nonsense just getting funnier now.

Did she say 'spam meet spam'?

That didn't really happen did it Counter?

It definitely did Stoorie.

I just wanted to get a tin of spam to see what all the fuss was about.

Will try again tomorrow.
Might even get my post Brexit rations while I'm there.
A big cake and a nice bottle of bubbly.

Ignore the GFs.

😂😂😂

People hit me on the head with tins all the time. Everyday occurrence in supermarkets.

No one eats spam unless they like it. The good news is that our economy will be so overflowing with goodies after Brexit that people with mental health problems such as the person you allegedly met, we have lots of taxpayers money spent on them to help them with their anger problems. So much winning, eh?

Spam. Food of champions.

Spam, spam, spam. egg and spam

Much more mention of Spam will put my mental health at risk. I think I was eating the leftover tins when I was at primary school in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The good news is that I will be very slim if it becomes a staple again. Brexit diet. 🙄

sneaks into thread to admit that spam and branston makes a nice sandwich and sneaks out again

Relieved and grateful... and I won’t have to go shopping for a bit. But to be honest I’d be less surprised to see polka dot pigs flying over westminster than a smooth trouble free outcome if we get a hard brexit.
If TM gets MPs to cave for a softer option then short term things will be smoother but long term we are royally fucked in either senario.

Aren’t you glad that you are getting what you voted for?

Really The counter? A random woman tries to hit you on the head in the middle of a supermarket?

Yip. Complained at the service desk. We both went over to where the woman was standing and she said she wanted a word with her in private. Two them whispering while glancing over and then the serv desk lady called me over and said Itd be better if I went to Asda if I wanted a tin of spam.
Then she said to me as I was leaving "tbh that spams for remainers...and you look like a Brexiteer" she then pulled a tin of spam from behind her back and threw it just missing my head.
Worlds gone mad. I tell thee.

Yeah, that happened.

See, that’s the problem with these “Brexit will be fine” people - they’re pure fantasists as The Counter has just proved.

Omg such scepticism.
If I said I was a Remainer yous would've been all over this declaring outrage at the joggy bottom trolley tins maniac.
I'll take a picture next time. Prob still not believe me tho.
Hope your spam gives you a bad case of trapped wind.

Why the assumption that all Preppers are remainers counter? You should visit the prepping threads on Mse. They’re mainly die hard leavers over there shamelessly prepping away whilst shouting down anyone who dares to say there won’t be unicorns in the post eu paradise.

DH loves fried spam and rice...its Filipino childhood comfort food. I will stick to rice and dhal!

What's Mse?
Might go over there. If they're Leavers they'll probably be a bit less judgemental.
Tends to be the case, in my experience.
