Been reading a bits and pieces about the leaked yellow'something report over the last couple of days. Today at work I got a look at my employer's (a local authority) no deal Brexit risk analysis.
They're expecting to run out of fresh supplied food in a matter of days. With that in mind they're currently stockpiling a huge amount of long life food alternatives.
Is anyone on here considering drastically preparing by buying lots of extra food to store/freeze etc at home?

I have to take several meds, I have various ailments and have been doubling up on my prescriptions for 3 months now and have quite a stock. I have often had to wait before so am not at all confident after October things will be at all better, just worse. Will also fill the freezer and use local markets for produce

I’m a type 1 diabetic so I’m ****ed. We don’t make a drop of insulin in this country. Think we last around 48-72 hours without it if we don’t eat anything.

I really don’t see the need for Brexit in the first place. Yes - I’m a Remainer.
All the promises of ‘sunny uplands’ and having ‘cake and eating it’ are absolute b0ll0cks and everyone now knows this. Sadly some are just too intransigent to accept it.
Personally, I’ll be making sure my unicorns are safe, well, and tied up in case of intruders looking to steal them for themselves.
I’ll also be nipping down to the offy to stock up on 1 litre bottles of ‘bulldog spirit’ to see me through.
Oh yeah - and I’ll be having the tyres and suspension checked on the car to make damn sure I’m not inconvenienced by those “bumps in the road” that BJ says will be inevitable.
Then I’ll settle down in my comfy armchair and read again my new bestest, most favourite fairy tale book - “The Emperors New Clothes” by Hans Christian Andersen.

I have just made a huge pot of ragu. Does that count?
We have 2 freezers, 1 has uncooked ingredients the other is cooked meals, currently containing 50 meals for 2, not including the 4 to 6 batches of ragu.
You might wonder why, well the road has been known to get blocked by snow in winter and better to be prepared.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I brought this subject up with the Mrs last night and she laughed at me.
In fairness, this isn't her only ammunition but she thinks I'm cracking up.

Lots of dried foods stored, also bought lots of bread flour and dried yeast. Just need water to make it.

I've not really done anything yet. I batch cook a lot of food and freeze it anyway so there is probably close to a month's worth of food in my freezer.
Blue milk is a bit of an essential for me for the bairn but I'm not sure if there is a likelihood of a shortage of that given most of the supermarket stuff is Scottish anyway. I suppose a few cartons of the long life stuff won't go amiss. Beyond that I'll probably fire a few tins in the cupboard and freeze some bread etc 'just in case'.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I’ll just carry on as normal, likely the only real problems will be caused by the idiots panic buying and clearing supermarket shelves of items they don’t really need.

My British passport runs out Sept 2020, rather than replace it I'm going to apply for a Irish passport instead
