Looks like they've taken a couple of extras from a SAGA advert, shoved them in a shed posing with a few boxes of groceries, and fabricated a story about it.

I expected more from the Daily Mail.....really I did. Lmao.

Can't really see the sense of stocking up your freezer when preping for "doomsday"

Surely they can work out if it gets THAT bad the first thing to go will be the power grid.

Personally i think that having say 1 months food stocked is a wise precaution in some areas of the world.
It is far wiser to stock yourself on knowledge though, as when the freeze dried stuff runs out and the water purifier fails your screwed.

I think putting their name and picture in a national newspaper will ensure that all their neighbors will now know that they have lots of food squirreled away.

That is a big shed they have, some geese might be a better way to get themselves through a rough winter. :)

Worrying times though.

Granted they really have gone for the scaremongering slant, but it still begs the quetion what do those big bankers know that we don't? I think instead of stockpiling food we should start getting the addresses of those big bankers while the Internet still works and we eat their supplies when times get tough and when thier food's gone we eat them.

Hmm perhaps that's a bit inflammatory so if any mods feel they want to delete this posting I won't be offended.

Interesting article though. Just emailed it to a load of my friends too.

so a 2 day power cut and they're all defrosted. I can see the sense in stock piling a bit of the 25 year tins and some water treatment but filling a freezer seems a proper stupid approach
