Yes, you could survive OK, because you were less reliant on electricity and water, and had alternative strategies in place.
But imagine if the electricity went off in London for say a week. It would be chaos. I'd put money on there being riots and looting, not to mention a complete collapse of commerce for the period.
Bloody hell, if London gets half an inch of snow it grinds to a halt, which makes national news. The consequences of an electricity blackout would be a lot worse.
