Casual conversations at ordinary social gatherings these days make us sound like conspiracy theorists.
‘What’ll happen first, an American civil war or a world war?’
‘Who can recommend a good solar-powered powerbank?’
‘It’s hard to store 27 litres of water and emergency food in a small flat.'
‘Are we still worried about the climate or will the world order collapse first?’
‘How much cash did the government say we should keep stashed?’
‘Ooh wait till you see my new hand-crank radio!’
