Tell us: do you stockpile items to prepare yourself for certain scenarios?

Britons should stock up on candles and other light sources to prepare for possible power cuts, the deputy prime minister has said.

People in Britain should stock up on battery-powered radios and torches, as well as candles and first aid kits in order to prepare for power cuts or digital communications going down, the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, has said.

We’d like to hear from people in the UK who are stockpiling certain items, and are interested to hear what they are.

What are you buying, what events are you trying to prepare yourself for, and have your stockpiling habits changed over time?
