If there was no more electricity.
Suppose, just suppose If by some freak of nature everything electrical stopped working all over the World never to work again, electricity ceases to be full stop and gas and oil are all used up, could you cope with a future without it?Well for starters I have an old wind up gramophone with a box of needles and a stack of 78’s to take care of the entertainment, a crate of 12” candles to have light, an open fireplace for cooking and heat, a cut throat razor to keep meself shaved, dozens of hand tools, two reliable wind up clocks, sharp shears and a push lawnmower to keep the wife busy.
Have you any old stuff you could bring back into service?

Re: If there was no more electricity.
I do a lot of dried foods, meats like liver and chicken and beef, veggies like carrots and parsnips and fruits like apples and bananas. I can also remember my Nan did a lot of salting when I was I a child quite easy to do too runner beans and cabbage and brussel sprouts. Then pickling and jams aren't too difficult either.
