I guess it depends how the 'end' arrives. I have always said that since I am relatively near GCHQ if I had a bit more than the 5 minute warning I would sit at their perimeter fence. If not I can survive about 3 months with no help food wise but having sufficient meds is more difficult since now the computerised surgery governs how often you can order repeat meds based on supposed usage. That could be a fairly ugly end if the delivery system breaks down which I have no doubt it would. I suppose it would then depend on survival of the fittest as ever. Oh well back to the perimeter fence.

Most of us are probably too old for all that Rambo stuff and even if willing would only get in the way .

In the movies everyone piles into their motors and heads for the country and fights it out with gangsters and such.

I reckon that I would stay in London. Most towns got big by folk working together. Small towns are friendlier, but not so good when it comes to organising police forces, education and the rest.

Sod all this running around with a tommy gun lark and slugging it out with the local hardcases. Quite apart from the fact that I am a quiet, timid sort of chap, I am the world's worst shot and if the bad guys appeared on my doorstep I would probably end up blowing my own foot off.

Tool wise I would go for an old fashioned high carbon steel saw. And a triangular file to sharpen it with. And hand tools. Power tools are great (God bless you Black and Decker) , but not the end of the world if not available.

I would also start improving on my wine making and tobacco growing skills. You don't need to put a gun to someone's head. Most folk will do a lot more for a drink and a smoke.

I will also have to start brown nosing to friends and relatives. Some of them make my hemorrhoids bleed, but they are violinists and drummers and pianists and singers and what sort of a world would it be without music?

And books. Bugger all this grubbing around like brute beasts bollocks. The big problem won't be starvation but boredom. So I would set up a circulating library. But as bad as things get, I ain't going to touch Dickens. Unless it is in the York Notes

How about you guys?
