Default Tinned food

Hi, we've just made a decision to stockpile some tinned food, got our first box stashed away, will add more as time goes by. It's not only for ourselves but also we have three parents in their 90's. I remember being in the Czech Republic years ago where supermarkets had significant gaps on their shelves, from one day to the next there were different shortages.

I'm a cautious person, this is just in case, no harm done if not required in anger. Is anyone else doing the same or considering it?

I’ll have a guess it’s another attempt at bringing up a certain subject.

If there are extended food shortages, they could bring forward death for many old, sick and infirm. This would mean lower demands on the NHS and pensions in the future thus making life's pressures on the young and those of working age/health a little more bearable.

Remember - there's always a bright side....

Bitten? - I reckon he’s been swallowed whole and we only get to see the expelled result of the digestive process.

That's totally unacceptable, would you like to apologies. This is a real worry for some people.
