Prepping? In what way? What do I need to prep?
Take off the kitchen door, hide under it, paint everything white and tag next door's grandmother?

No I'll take life as it comes and deal with everything it throws at me ta.

I think you're getting confused with prepping for a nuclear war!!! ..in which case I'd agree there'd be no point cos you'd still die of radiation even hiding under a door!

Hi

Yes, swapped my money over already.

I have 3200 cigarettes here and 17 bottles of Vodka, they will be tripled before the end of the Summer Holidays.

A huge saving.

In December I have a job for an EU Country.

It is Payable in Euros and does not affect my Pension here.

Leaving on in the End of October will cost me, 7 weeks wages., around £4K after Tax.

I can cope with that.

Yes of course I was joking, Susan. A play on words from the ridiculous leaflets that were banded about in the early 1980's (and Frankie Goes To Hollwood's 'Two Tribes' single etc).
You'll get used my own particular style of wit in time love.

Prepping for a No Deal? No, because nobody knows what would actually happen yet. It's all different theories from scaremongers at present. let's wait nearer the time - if that time actually comes.

I’m with you floydy, nothing we can do about it.. just deal with whatever comes..

I was born with a condition that requires medication for life so have exemption and have never had to pay for them or anything else my GP prescribes currently on the NHS.

I have to have regular blood tests so not visiting a GP and getting medications is NOT an option, just to be able to stay alive.

Dental care is no longer free in the UK (for adults) so I haven't been to a dentist for over 30 years. Under your scheme I probably wouldn't be able to afford to add any extra's.

Isn't the UK pension something like £42 a week? how would most be able to afford £100 a month just for a compulsory insurance and pay for food and other bills?

Many of our pensioners in the UK are already in a 'Eat or Heat' situation with adult social care really underfunded in most places. I know I'm going to be worse off under universal credit too than I am on the older system. I think thre's about 2 months you get no money at all (6-8 weeks while they decide whether you're entitled to get it and thats if you\re lucky and get it straight away)

I'm not sure they back pay your rent for that period so I have to try and save up enough to cover at least 4 months bills I think to give me some breathing space. It would be just my luck a no deal brexit happened at the same time causing more chaos, prices to go up etc.

I just wondered if anyone was stocking up on extra food incase of problems? and for what kind of period? 6 weeks? 6 months?

I thought being an 'over 50s' group there maybe more people here who maybe pensioners, disabled or would struggle to get stuff in over the winter if there were strikes, riots disrupting things, stuff not getting through customs etc?

My philosophy also Primus! And anything l need l can
order from Amazon cant l?
