It's probably pretty sensible...
but I think it's hilarious.

I'll just set the scene quickly. My Dad often (IMO) gets hit by the histeria bug. Upon the recent Gulf War he bought crap loads of plastic sheeting and left a sheet by every window with masking tape -incase of chemical warefare.
The months preceding Y2K, our kitchen became fuller and fuller with long life food, tins and freezer food -convinced that millenium bug was going to cause the next famine.

Now he carries around a sleeping bag and a shovel in the boot of his car, incase he gets snowed in on the motorway! Yeah, I suppose when it does happen he'll have the last laugh but he always makes me giggle! Are we not having another uncharacteristically warm October?
