So where do they get their figures from ? the demand for goods and services ? do you mean like food / fuel etc, i know you live in the sticks, and it must be pretty isolated, iirc, you work from home, I imagine then you have a healthy stocked larder, down here, in big old Stockton, we were running low on basics like bread, milk and petrol, to try and get through " the coming weeks " as you say. It's only since today that the roads have really been ok to drive, where you could see the road and not have to guess ( only a slight exaggeration there as well )
So no, imho, we are not prepared and we should be, after year upon year of it, too hot, too cold, not enough........ you get my point, we as a country, are a joke when it comes to weather, and being prepared for it, why.... government /s not wanting to spend money.
