Every morning whilst drinking that first - and best- coffee of the day I switch on my laptop to see what's happening in the world and on GN.

Mostly , I'm looking for niff , naff and trivia to wake up my old grey cells but increasingly its the worst of mans inhumanity to man that smacks me in the face !!

I'm almost to the point of thinking -pre laptop boot up- I wonder if the end of the world will be in the active threads on GN ?

It got me thinking , in a light hearted fashion , what are the 5 things you'd make sure you had in your handbag to take to the bunker ??

For me :

my iPad and some sort of wind up charger !

Chocolate -as much as I could cram in .

Our little dog ( although it might be a squish in the bag and the chocolate is unlikely to survive )

a large bottle of something alcoholic !

My favourite perfume .

What about you?

I think I will go and print my list off the picnic thread.

My DD's MIL still has a shelter in her garden. A stray cat and kittens are in there at the moment with some necessities Blanket, food + water

We were stationed in Rheindahlen at the height of the Cold War-my dad worked in Ops after he stopped flying. He always said you don't really want to know what goes on. My teenage years were blighted by unannounced nuclear alert siren testing. You never knew if it was for real until they stopped. Some anxious minutes as we counted the seconds.....no wonder I've had anxiety issues in adult life!!!

As well as some of the things above, I have in my bookcase[though others will have it on kindle, but would kindle work?], a book of what is edible in the countryside, and an army survival book.

Prof Brian Cox would be no good in an emergency. He takes so long to say whatever when he wants to say you could be dead by the time he reaches the conclusion about what best to do to save you.

Alas, Prof Brian Cox wouldn't fit into my handbag...

Professor Brian Cox has one of those soothing voices that sends me off to sleep so I usually miss most of his programmes.

I do love the way GN post headings read.
