All previous posts have pretty much covered the spectrum, so I have nothing to add. Rumors are, Tracey, that Buckingham Palace has a nuclear reactor in the event of such a catastrophe, if the Queen and royals can't get to Balmoral.

Electric is going to go too. It they got a diesel they could make fuel from cooking waste and tons of cooking oil let in all the stores. (Treehugger in the house). I like your idea of going to Buckingham palace. I was telling my husband that I would stay in London an look for one of the old mansions that they used to build in the center of town that usually get turned into museums. Buckingham palace will do just fine. What is driving me crazy is that people who see no people are so willing to leave each other when they may not see anyone for ages. I will watch it, but character motivation in this thing sucks. My husband said he would go around to hoard tools as over times they would become scarce. I said I would raid libraries and books stores so I could get a community of people learning critical skills for survival. Medicine, construction, engineering, etc. I also would go after seeds for planting veggies and fruits. What would be the first thing you would go after once you secured the palace J From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:scifino...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mr. Worf Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 10:41 PM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Survivors? Yea that was a bit stupid. I didn't understand why water and power cut off only after 3 days. That made no sense to me at all. Another was no one thought of walking over to the toyota dealer and taking a new prius running on electric power instead of worrying about gas. I can understand that after everyone dying off it would make sense that people would be a little dazed for a while until reality starts to set in. Only the black guy took the time to grab supplies and a good vehicle that can drive off road. If I were them I would go to Buckingham palace. It has tons of animals and veggies. Plus lots of safety zones and large weapons cache. On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:03 PM, Tracey de Morsella <tdli...@multiculturaladvantage.com> wrote: Its passable, but I’m underwhelmed. Plus, I get the idea that they said 10% of the population would survive. That a great deal more than the sparseness of people that we are seeing. Additionally, people are not really responding in a way consistent how I think some would respond to Armageddon.. Other than the Black guy and finally the woman, people are aimless with no indication of coming up with a course of action. While not everyone is a planner, some doctors, engineers, and managers after a few days would become aware of the ramifications of their situation and start trying to figure out a plan of survival. These people just drive around for days and days. Makes no sense that driving aimlessly would be everyone’s way of handling it..
