Exactly what I do now when they don't work. Tread carefully the same as every other driver and treat it as a normal junction. Right now there will be traffic lights not working somewhere and drivers are surviving just fine.

I have started to combine a Brexit cupboard. At the moment I have six 600-gallon oil tanks filled up with petrol, 300 packs of 18 toilet rolls, 1000 cans of tomato soup, 50 cans of fly killer and 100 bottles of Harpic, that is a start anyway. Things will be in short supply after we leave, I like to be on the safe side.

This was sadly Caxton's last post. From the coroner's report it appears that Caxton had reached for a packet of toilet roll and the whole lot collapsed on them. We can only imagine this is how Caxton would have liked to die.

Whenever I think of toilet paper I think of Claxton.

Is that what Han Solo flew in when he was a young smuggler, and couldn't afford better?

I should think if anyone still has one full of old food, it will have plenty of bugs in it by now.

I'm so glad that didn't happen to Richard Madeley.

Doesn't he just get his wife to shoplift it from the local Waitrose, allegedly

I'm sure more people have a millennium falcon than a damn cupboard!

At the time some people were in a panic because of 'Y2K'. It was thought many electronic items and computer systems would not be able to deal with the year going from 99 to 00.
As a result there was some panic buying and people stocking emergency stores.

Much to the disappointment of many on here it was not my last post, I was always taught to be prepared, no good sitting on the bog on April 1st, contemplating how different it would have been if the country had voted "remain" and because of Brexit there was no spare bog roll as the local Tesco had already run out of it, as there is no bog paper left (except Izal) in the country and no electricity to make it anyway.

Keeping a good supply of bog roll in the house, I at least, will be able to wipe my bum on a nice soft tissue. I hear from good sources that some enterprising gentleman had bought up large amounts of old daily tabloids and cutting them into squares to resell as toilet paper, when because of Brexit, we run out of the usual bum fodder on a roll

So Caxton lives on and will still be posting on here his usual highly intellectual and informative ramblings. Brexit is Brexit and life must carry on

Mine just had an ounce in it.

Had way too much money at the time from all the suckers paying silly rates for me to vet their code

How do I know you're not an impostor and the real Caxton is missing?

Also I have a millennium cupboard with the real Robbie Williams locked inside it - the one you saw on that new year show is an impostor.

Reading the thread I can only assume it'd be the kind of thing I'd only know about if I had been on a forum around the millennium, so I'm glad I wasn't

Having said that, I doubt there were that many forums and there wasn't social media in the scale there is today, so apparently I've missed out on something I didn't need to know about
