 Will the 29000 people who are currently without water become the next generation of preppers ?  The simple fact that the penny hasnt dropped that our government will do nothing for anyone in the event of an emergency somewhat baffles me . I grew up in the Lincolnshire wilderness back in the 60s it wasnt a case of prepping but common sense . We had a bus once a week on market day , a mobile butcher , a mobile shop that was if you lived in a village, so of course you made sure you were well stocked up with most everything . It wasnt till the late 60s and the 70s that ordinary people got cars and could shop further afield this then killed the mobile shops and the bus services over the course of a few years. I hate the fact that we are so reliant on Amazon , we are even having to have then deliver our milk each month , all the cat food comes in bulk as well , daft stuff like toiletries , wash powder batteries etc etc Amazon . You cant have morals or scruples if you live rurally . We are surrounded by chicken farms but cant buy eggs , bird flu has killed folks selling eggs at the gate , they stopped the dairy selling milk at their gate , we have posh farm shops that are for the tourists and middle classes just dont look to closely at the labels folks , country of origin may well be the other side of the world but it will have a Union Jack on the packaging or labels, so thats fine. What a bloody mess we are in and they dont want to resolve it
