A week?? I have 72 tins of beef, haggis, chilli (I stocked up when

plus, and they don't need cooking.

Ther is abosluetley no reasosn to have any interru[ption to food supplies.


I must stock up on pasta though. We don't actually make much of that
in the UK (at the moment - we could, from American wheat) and I eat a
lot of it. Passata and tomato paste too.

I don't imagine there is any reason to worry about water supplies.

They rely on electric pumps ...

Could there be power cuts? I don't know.

In the worst case, some, as we might not be able to rely as much on
the interconnects with EU countries. But I expect they'd be of fairly
short duration to knock off the peak demand.


There is is absolutely no reason to have any interruption to electricity
supplies. In hard times we export to the coninent. We only take surplus
nuclear power from Europe at trade discounts

There will be no broadband so I need to make sure I can keep a
phone charged. What's the best way to do that?

There'll be no mobile phone service once the cell mast UPS dies, so
you'd need a landline phone. They don't need charging. VDSL, and FTTH
customers using VoIP have other problems. The ADSL network should be
fairly robust as long as you have power for your router. Might be
worth looking out an old USB-dangly ADSL 'modem' and running it on a
laptop. For charging most small things, a car charger will do (if you
have a car).


There is absolutely no reason to have any interru[ption to telephone or
broadband supplies.

Is there anything else I should be worried about?

All the smart devices in your home that suddenly fail as we leave the
EU and the software licences expire ...


There is absolutely no reason to have any problem with any computeriused
device or software.

..

Slightly worried about my Sipgate phone numbers.

There is aboslutely no reason to have any interruption to Sipgate or
any other internet service.

I cannot believe that YOU guys believe this crap.

Nevertheless, a lot do - and their actions which have been seen before
(hording, scrabbling and profiteering) will affect many even if you
believe there is no reason.

Of course there is no reason - we have Prime Minister May in charge ...

Don't worry, we'll be in the middle of a beast from the
east so the shops will be devoid of cucumbers, tomatoes,
lettuce and bread anyway :-).

Will there be a shortage of Spam (now made in Holland) ?.

In the 2nd half of 2016 there was no need for Weetabix to
increase by 15%, because it is made from home-grown cereals,
and packed in UK-made cardboard boxes, but the Chinese owners
probably wanted to maintain their profits in Chinese currency.

Indeed. I will miss the EU mangos...not!

So proving the EU doesn't stop us getting stuff from where we want even
though brexiteers claim they do.

No Den, back to front as usual. It's The *Remainers* who are insisting
that everything will go tits up after 29th March.


Your logic is wrong as usual.

The brexiteers claim the EU stops us buying elsewhere and what you
posted shows it to be a lie.

Remainers just say it will cost more to buy from the EU for some stuff.
Or are you on about the temporary problems that having *new* customs
checks done will probably cause?

You're lying thru your teeth, as always. None that mattered
ever said that and you wont be able to cite them saying that.
