Yeah it's just a shame that the majority of us battery breds can't all live in nice little caring sharing communities.

we are but are the rest ? solar flare survival

It is indeed - especially when so many houses around here are unoccupied, unsellable and collapsing - and when most of the farm workers have to be brought in from other countries as no-one here wants the work
Yep, we're flooded with em at the seaside too (no pun intended) and there is no work for anyone, so they just doss outside McDs drinking cheap vodka, still ya have to make the most of what you've got. Each to their own.

Hmmm...think you misunderstood...there are a load of migrant workers here who come for "the season". They work very hard indeed. The pity is there is large unemployment in many areas of people who live here permanently.
Makes me think the old ways of the people who would go hop picking, planting etc. could do with re-envigorating
Maybe even the old "tied cottage" ideas
Seems mad to me that there are lovely country cottages falling down, over crowded cities, migrant workers and large scale unemployment all at the same time.

well what with all this doom and gloom i better rush off and get some more ammo, i should have enough stuff laying around the house to make something that goes boom though...
in all seriousness though, id stock up on ammo and salt for preserving things, if meat got short id just shoot a rioter...
Ironicly salt has been used as a currency even moresp than precious metals. And salt is far more practical.
Get rid of the internet and communities will move back together. Get rid of vehicles for private use and the job would be complete.
Chances of that happening? Zero

I agree with that to an extent but the internet has been used for community mobilisation too. remember the cleanup after the riots that was organised through twitter and facebook. When the chips are down, Britain does still seem to rediscover its wartime spirit.
Of course, the internet has its good points, no doubt about it.
But it tends to keep folk in their homes. Friends will sit and chat online, rather than socialise for example. All having an impact on communities in one way or another.

Slowly we are losing the art of talking, writing and even caring for our brothers.
Very sad.

One interesting thing to note is that in another 1000 years time our civilisations, achievements etc. may become "lost" in time - this is down to our data storage medium of choice. Unlike stone tablets, and even paper we keep all our information stored on the most fragile of mediums. It is only through perpetual back up and sharing that we maintain it's life cycle and keep the knowledge alive.
The ancients knew this also, which is what motivated them to put everything they deemed important onto stone.

I have a huge array of ebooks, .pdfs, audiobooks on all manner of subjects, and for the most part (unless it's a Koontz or King novella only released in that format, or an audiobook) they are unread. I also have a good few hundred actual books on a wide range of subjects and they've all been well read from novels to technical manuals. There is something 'solid' about an actual 'real' book. Do love 'proper' books.
