Are you prepping for power cuts or whatever else the gov are referring to? ?

No nothing

Not done anything yet but it is quite scary tbh…

Nothing!

Scaremongering. Its rediculous

Somewhat - only 'just in case'. We have a couple torches, some bottled water and some food leftover that was stored in caravan from season. We always have some spare tins of beans.

I remember a few years ago they said thry thought there might be the odd blackout due to not enough electricity at the grid so I prepared by buying some curtain lights. It was only when I got them home, I realised they were mains ones 🤣🤣🙈

I do believe this advice is not new though , it's just being re-hashed in the news/re-promoted? Happy to be corrected

I heard 2 asda store workers moaning about whatever they'd been asked to do and word for word one said 'Do they not know what it's been like in here today, it's like a Saturday'. This was pre half term Tuesday

Nothing!

We got some extra bits in because we did realise how underprepared we’d be for anything - didn’t even have a torch or extra batteries anywhere - so it was a worthwhile wake up call I think. It happens very often that they encourage 3 days worth of items, basically base line advice, but every now and again the media and social media will glom onto it and make it feel ‘new’

I haven't done much, but I always have long life milk in the cupboard and a few extra tins. The advice is really about not letting things run all the way out before you top up eg if you have prescription medication you should have some in stock in case the pharmacy is closed.
I did buy a decent power bank for phone charging, which i had been meaning to get anyway.
The last El Nino year there was fairly widespread flooding and a lot of people had a few days without power. I'm not sure why so many people seem to think it's scaremongering.

Tbh ive not got much onky waters certain tins, at first I though it was only scare us but as I parent with two boys my anxiety is high keep hearing more and more with what going on,
