What would you miss if you were totally SS?
If you were totally SS what would you miss? I'm talking completely trivial here, because obviously if it was a survival situation I wouldn't care, but I would miss tea and coffee! I know there's alternatives, but sometimes only a proper cuppa will do

Re: What would you miss if you were totally SS?
Just about everything really, but most of all hot running water and electricity for my hair dryer. No I don't think I'd be able to produce enough electricity in Brittany in winter when the wind isn't blowing to run things with powerful motors. Being SS is not something I am remotely interested in, thank you. In fact there are times when I don't even like being Ish much (I have a bit of a 'Boots'* moment from time to time).

Internet and a gas hob (love cooking but find solid fuel not so versatile)

me too
I doint want to be completely SS - i think society is a good thing - or should be anyway. we should share our skills, help out those that need a little extra. otherwise old age is looking grim eh?
would miss chocolate big time.

Nobody saluted my honesty and I said it first before Mrs Flib.
