Mauser3006 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Bizarrely there's been quite a lot of coverage today in the media on "preppers". Vanessa Feltz on Radio 2 (37 mins in) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06jt9r1 and on the BBC Website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34637377 Sadly the usual crowd of lunatics were interviewed and the tone of the interviewers make it clear that they are gently mocking. Those of us not preparing for Zombie Armageddon keep sensibly quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauser3006 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 National Grid asks for more power generation for this evening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34723259 The built in redundancy of the National Grid (i.e. how much more electricity over demand it can produce) has been closing for years and is now at its lowest level for 7 years. With an aging Power Statio Network, many are talking about more frequent blackouts to come. Hence the Chancellor's overtures to the Chinese earlier this month.
