The Thin veneer of civilisation

What a thin veneer it is.
This afternoon there was a total power cut that effected 2 thirds of Rugby,including mobile phone masts.It lasted about half an hour.
Within 10 minutes or so,two neighbours rang my doorbell asking if I knew what was happening,and what should we do.
I re-assured them that I had a big bag of Mature Cheddar and Red Onion crisps,a Bread knife,and a copy of the SAS Survival Manual,so if the Zombie Apocalypse had started,we had a fighting chance of surviving,and perpetuating Mankind.
Seriously,20 minutes without electricity,and there was almost panic!
