Or....you have a very long garden - right along the sides of the canal.
Joe Public wouldn't recognise most edible species as long as they aren't planted in neat, monoculture rows. Scatter less common veg in random combinations and people will walk right past them.
RGR has been mocking us since around 1894 ... however I suspect that over the next couple of weeks the wheels are really about to come off the cart ... even in Denver.

It's all a tad concerning.
I guess we shall see. I will watch this unfold in suburbia within sight of a major metropolitan area, with access to only the usual means of food supply, and taking the recommended safety precautions. No hiding in the woods or on 50 acre farms with a years supply of potatoes or whatever passes for doomer preps nowadays.

A fishing rod, I guess. Which canal are you on? Plenty of crayfish in the K&A.
I've never lived on a narrowboat, but I'm a veteran of many holidays. I must have seen at least half the network in the last 30 years. Helped out with the restoration of the W&A as well.
For a brief moment I considered the possibility of buying an election car (to charge of my solar panels), some kind of finance/hire deal where I put down a minimal deposit and pay a couple hundred quid a month... thinking possession is nine tenths of the law and payments might be inflated away, or payment holidayed away, or grand debt jubilee...
...then I realised I don't have anywhere to drive to for the foreseeable future!
The full tank of diesel in my car could last months at expected rate of use.
On a lighter note in these otherwise dark times, I've noticed all of the local birds in my area, and tits especially, are all over my fat balls and are evidently gagging for my seed.
Spring is most definitely in the air....

I only watched it on the original broadcast, but in The Survivors, I remember the old tramp helps himself to a Rolls Royce and has a fun time tootling about on the empty roads.
The effects on the Motor Trade are already extreme. If the fatality numbers turn out to be as brutal as we fear, you should be able to pick up a really nice 2018 Fiesta for £500 or so, strictly cash, on the flooded secondhand market. And what with fuel being so cheap too. Unless the dearth of 20 /70 /21 reg cars pushes that price up to an eyewatering £750.
When you're dealing with exponential growth, the time to act is when it feels too early.

Lancaster Canal - a very clean canal - certainly clean enough to drink I think once it's been through my Sawyer water filter, I have fishing rods and a Crayfish trap but never seen Crayfish here

He did indeed help himself to a Roller. "Price" was his name. God, that series was so class ridden it was embarrassing. All of the "nice" survivors were terribly middle class and all of the "nasty" survivors were either the odd upper class crusty/boorish CEO. But, most were depicted as low life "working class" types with rough accents and rough manners.
