Subject: RE: BS: What to stockpile for Brexit and when
The european health card only partly covers medical costs. Partly fer sure. But thanks to Bresxhit the cost of travel insurance will have to rise. The cost of a lot of things will rise when it means going or coming from Europe.

And when I said we can grow our own I was being somewhat sarcastic. Before WW2 we imported a huge percentage of food. I think figures like 40% have been banded about.

I still say we could feed ourselves nearly, IF:
1) we ate foods in season probably.
2) we restricted our diet.
3) we became less obese
4) and weaned ourselves of exotica.
5) we grow our own.
6) be prepared to work as fruit-pickers.
7) ate everything we bought.
8) were intelligent about consume-by dates.
9) taxed Tescos for throwing away palatable food.
10) payed a lot more for the food.
11) add more clauses below..............
