Surely ambulances, police stations, council depots and gas-water-elastictrickery depots have bunkered supplies?

Money : I try not to use it. I prefer debit cards.

A couple of convenient accidental breakdowns at certain points on the road network would do that nicely! The recent closure of the M56 and A56 could be carried out with a couple of tractors, or a dozen cars, and caused mayhem across the North West and North Wales.

I'd *like* to say there'd be civil war, but TBH, they'd be glued to their idiot boxes, watching reality TV, home make over, and celebrity gobpooe, and microwave dinners don't cook themselves you know.

You know, I think it would be a sad day if there *wasn't* civil war :-) 0
