An Ebola house in the Highlands or Wales ...

[AlphaBravoHenryFoxtons]

or possibly the north of England.

I want to buy a remote house for my family. Somewhere we could go and sit things out if Ebola takes hold in the UK.

I plan to basically furnish it and then stock the cupboards and freezer with pasta, jam. tinned food, packet foods, flour, rice, sugar, dried egg and meat in the freezer. I would also buy seeds: parsley, lettuce, rocket, spinach greens, so it would need to have at least a small amount of garden and a greenhouse would be good so we aren't

I have £100,000 to spend. I won't be using the infrastructure, so you needn't worry about schools, access to jobs and leisure facilities.

a windmill thingy?

I fear that you may have quite a bit to learn about this post-apocalypse stuff.

I did stay in an off-grid backpacker hostel in NZ - very nice it was too. But oh, the horror of some guests when they discovered that solar panels don't produce enough grunt for a hairdryer.

I think F&B do a shade called 'Bleeding Orifice'. Sounds quaint.

Is this serious ?

Does anyone remember during all the fuss about the new millennium there was a family who sold up and left their jobs and moved to a remote island ?

What a horribly insensitive thread.

People are dying and the people trying to help are dying.

But as long as you're 'safe' eh.

Is this thread serious? If Nigeria only had eight cases, then I'm sure we can cope.

I think it's a joke thread, a variation on the zombie apocalypse plans we all love. It isn't meant to poke fun at victims or those who can't escape to the Brecon Beacons.

You'd get a lot of therapy and calm-your-shit-down drugs for 100k

ShatnersBassoon, I may be having a complete sense of humour failure, but I found your post shocking.

Why is it funny that people are dying in that way?

Well it looks like your second post explained it.

That's okay then....

It isn't funny. I was laughing more at F&B's naming. Sorry for upsetting you.

I don't think this post is laughing at people dying AT ALL.

We could sell you our cottage near Ardnamurchan but there are 2 problems - 1. The place is heaving with tourists in the summer and one of them might be the sort of tourist who does not only frequent the Highlands. 2. It will be 250k

Yuck.

The Daily Mail has pretty much said that if Heathrow's thermometers malfunction (they are battery operated) … well, you don't need me to tell you.

I like the sound of F&B's 'Bleeding Orifice' but I'm wondering it'll go well with F&B Lyme Disease White?

That's so last century of you alpha. Space is where you want to go. A little pied a terre in the international space station.

I wonder if a refurbed submarine might not be a better bet?

Includes a chapel

How about St Kilda?

They may even do
An emergency Ocado delivery via helicopter drop

Can you imagine if ebola does take hold? I don't think we would be safe from the crims never mind the virus

The door has to be blood red with a skull and cross bones on it.

If it's got a shed you could house a few chickens
