Alas, not so much bunkeresque as I had hoped for.

Wouldn't be much use in a flood though would it?

But has an element of truth. Modern society is on a knife edge of "just in
time" supplies. It wouldn't take much to knock it of kilter. In general
this country has very localised events and the people in the affected
areas can rely on the resources of unaffected areas to support them. This
may not always be the case... In my view anyone with any sense has at
least a few days, preferably over a week, of non-perishable food in store
and rotated with the day to day food so it is maintained "in date". Those
with a combi and thus no CW storage tank should seriously consider a
backup water supply and that isn't just a case of 500ml bottles of water.
Every person requires over 2l of water/day to remain healthy, family of 4
for a week is 56l and that doesn't include anything for cooking and
associated activities.

We always have plenty of tinned food and pasta, etc it keeps forever
and it so cheap, we don't stock pile it, but when its like 25p a tin
or something why buy 2 or 3, I just put 20 odd tins in the trolly,
other half moans, but then she's happy to eat it when we've run out of
fresh stuff and its a sunday and the shops are shut!

Just hope that your local police force do not read that.

Too late. I told them that he might know something.

...and the next farm up the road is inhabited by a DCS with whom I go
rabbiting - he already knows

He may well know you have the guns, he may not know you issue threats
about using them ...
Stimpy
Where's that threat then? You *chose* to interpret my remark about water
availability and quality as some sort of threat relating to my guns.
I suggest you (a) read the original context, (b) note the smiley and (c)
lighten up.
Round here, we're more worried about the threat to society posed by
Bluetongue at the moment. Vaccine still not available in any quantity and
movement restrictions still in place.

I did, and at the time I thought "I wonder if he'd get the licence
renewed so easily if he went round saying things like that in RL, rather
than on usenet", apparently it came across the same way to three others
too, but I originally decided not to post.

Ah well, a couple of harsh winters might be required to keep it down.

Well of COURSE I wouldn't say stuff like that in the real world, even if I
were carrying a big fuck-off sign with a flourescent smiley on it.

Assuming he has a shotgun licence then they already know he has
shotguns!
As for them reading what he said on the internet, I think they would
have better things to do and what he said is not in the least bit
illegal.
The OP was, of course, refering to a state of national emergency when
the normal staus quo had broken down and, in effect, there would be no
law & order to speak of, other than marshal law. In such an occasion,
the authoirties wouldn't be too bothered about someone taking steps to
defend themselfs and thier family, as long as he didn't start shooting
at them! They would be more concerned with stopping looters, etc and
would, perhaps, see him as helping them.

He presumably was joking but the police tend to take a dim view about
anyone making any sort of threat involving firearms even if only done as
a joke.
I suspect that wanting a weapon for use after a nuclear strike would not
be considered a valid reason for issuing a firearms licence.
