Re: If there was no more electricity.
I notice Nom you mention to reive in your first comment.Doing ancestry I have found that one of my families were Reivers
and lived in Liddesdale. Really interesting stories of survival in
the middle ages. Crossing the border was a natural thing in those days.

There is a well known tradition that the Robsons of North Tynedale once made a foray into the Scottish valley of Liddesdale and stole a large flock of sheep belonging to the Graham family, which they brought back into Northumberland. Later it was discovered that the Graham sheep were infected with scab, which spread like wild fire through the Robson's flock. The Robsons were so angry that they returned to Liddesdale in another raid, where they caught seven members of the Graham family and hung them until they were dead. They left a note to the effect that;
The neist time gentlemen cam to tak their schepe They are no te' be scabbit!
Hope it was not your relatives BE
