I'd need water for my Coffee
we've not had much rain so can't rely on that.

We'll have to hope that the Chinese takeaway has plenty of veggies - or maybe we can invent something with Peaches.
Anyone tried Peach chips?

What exactly is a lifetime's supply? A bottle of perfume every week and I could set up my own online shop, a pint of milk a week and I'd be desperate in three days

You know those sci-fi disaster movies where a group of people are suddenly isolated from civilisation (as they know it) and have to survive on whatever they have to hand.
Here's the twist in the tale - we are that group and we have to survive on the last items we bought!!
Seeds
Chinese Takeaway
Almond Magnums
Concrete
Coffee
Corn plasters
Coach screws
Tray of peaches
Sour cream and chive crisps
TV Magazine
Box of Red wine
Opium perfume
Dry vermouth
Could you get by with those items for a lifetime?
PS Nobody said I was sane!!
A lot depends on the selection of seeds, also how quick we could get our clothes off, and before you start building your hopes up, it's to use the clothes as a filter to remove the water from the left over concrete after making 2 small holding ponds, one for the filtered water another for holding the water that we would have stored inside ourselves
13 folk so someone is sure to be able to make some dishes out of the TV mag, so that the magnums and the takeaway could be shared out, of course Veggie being the oldest we would all be looking to her for guidance, so what would you suggest
RE: What are you stuck with??? - Veggie - 16-08-2021
I thought the TV magazines would be useful for starting fires and in the dunny.
RE: What are you stuck with??? - JJB - 16-08-2021
No one has specified where we are isolated. I elect an island. We can use the TV mags to boil sea water to distill it for potable water, coffee and growing seeds. I don't fancy a diet of crisps and magnums though
RE: What are you stuck with??? - PyreneesPlot - 16-08-2021
To be honest being stuck with you lot on a desert island is more worrying
RE: What are you stuck with??? - Veggie - 16-08-2021
But, but, PP we need you.....................you're the only one with fresh food.
RE: What are you stuck with??? - Scarlet - 16-08-2021
Easily!! Who needs anything else after wine coffee and crisps?!!!
