Re: Last man / woman on earth
The thing that bugs me most about the show in question is that they don't try and grow anything! But clearly I am a middle-aged gardening type.

Re: Last man / woman on earth
I wonder how long food stuffs in stores will remain edible. Cans for decades presumably? I reckon you'd be wanting fresh food after a while so you'd want to grow things.

obviously, I'd never wear clothes again (apart from socks and shoes, I'm still English).

Re: Last man / woman on earth
You'd be shocked by how quickly the infrastructure will start falling apart with no one around to maintain them. This ranges from utilities to roads. Within a few years you'd have to start being careful in urban areas for bits falling off buildings. And Mother nature would start reclaiming everything. Trees and vines overtaking buildings and roads.
Fresh water would become a big problem.

I'd be at that vault in Norway getting all the seeds.

Water: springs, wells, rainwater ... I dunno how long bottled water lasts, but there'd be enough for one person for a lifetime, even if eventually you did have to boil it.

I don't iron my shorts, and there won't be much need for anything else until climate change cools the planet down because of the severe reduction in man-made global warming.
