Having had a gas emergency this winter I felt sorry for those who had lost their electricity during the cold weather and I wondered how we, as a nation, would cope.
We enjoy the luxury of our modern gadgets; where would we be without our mobile phones and tv
But what about those who have not got the luxury of all our modern gadgets? Could modern Britain survive if we had an earthquake on the scale of Haiti? I doubt it.
We may cope for a while and soldier on - the British “stiff upper lip” etc; but what about the long term? Years ago we were advised to think about a Nuclear winter. Maybe it is time to think about emergency situations - just in case. After all we have had earthquakes in this country too.
On a cheerier note; I believe we would survive, we always do but our thinking would be changed. ’s?
