Take one ropey old Focus and Walterise it, badly, no really baaaddly.
The lightbar seems to have become so opaque over time that he's had to fit additional rotating beacons on top. Plus the small matter of the lightbar being covered by number plate signs and stickers.
The best bit? The crap on the bonnet. As Swan-Walt comes bounding up behind me, opaque beacons activated and sirens, I'll look in my rear view mirror and instantly read all the crap reverse print that will make sense. I'll be in no doubt that he is currently ON CALL, twice. Then I'll get confused with TWW and a reversed telephone number that I'll get all confused on obstruct him as I think this one out.

I honestly believe for most of these people it signifies mental illness. I think the same about dog lovers, donkey sanctuaries, bird fanciers and so on too though.
I suspect you are probably correct. While for some it is their genuine hobby for the more extreme they seem to have an illness where a fantasy world/life has been concocted. The dog lover thing is also very weird. The explosion of dog ownership among blokes in their 20s who simply shouldn’t have the time to look after a dog seems to just scream loneliness, neediness and a form of mental illness. But where we lived in London it was the middle aged ladies with dogs who all thought these dogs were actually their children, the real children having either left the country as quickly as possible because of ghastly parents or had no need of their parents because their parents had been too busy partying to help them when they were younger. They were a total menace as their dogs were untrained and they used to set their dogs onto your children on the Heath because they insisted that their children should play with yours. I had to take to carrying an old walking stick to deal with these absolute mentalists. Personally, I think our modern society has created a legion of total fantasists who have runaway to a made up world because they haven’t the balls to cope with reality.

Everyone needs something that gives some validation and meaning to their life and with life now relatively safe and comfortable for most in the West people look for something. It used to be religion but if you don't believe in a God and an afterlife the next question can be 'what's the point?' If you are logical and think too long about that you may come up with the answer that there isn't one. That isn't healthy so something fills the void. For some it's their children, their pets, obsessively collecting something, following a football team or all sorts of weird behaviour. rovermorris999 said:

king cage and tampons hidden in a tunnel they’ve dug in the woods. At least the fantasists in the USA ‘bug out’ to a pre-prepared remote location 100 miles from the next living person. They usually own some hidden bunker, shack in the woods, or campsite which will almost never be found by another human, so if they did want to ‘escape a collapsed society’ or whatever, then they pretty much can go and live somewhere off the grid surrounded by knives, guns and tinned Spam.
Mental, but at least contains some vague logic.
But can you imagine it here in the UK?
Where would you go?
“Let’s escape the city and drive East!”
“Oh wait, we’ve arrived at the coast. With 120,000 other people also in their cars...”
“Head West!”
(38 miles later)
“We’ve reached the other coast! It’s still really busy with other people!”
“Erm... Head north!”
“Right, we’ve driven to the most remote part of the UK... there are still people everywhere! I can see some houses and people caravanning over there! Arrrgh!”
And of course the elephant in the room: Guns.
Whenever I’ve sat and watched UK Prepper videos, in horror and amazement, I note they they (predictably) like showing off their weapons, but never seem to own anything more dangerous than a catapult, a bush knife, and occasionally a .22 air rifle.
If it really, really, was a genuine armageddon, a fight for survival, and it came down to ‘my family vs their family’, there is only going to be one person who ends up owning a fully-walted Discovery TD5 and 1000 tins of Spam, and that’ll be me using my safe full of guns (real ones) and the 1000 rounds of ammunition that I generally have in my house at any one time.
None of this nonsense will ever happen of course, but it seems that all these people have fell at the first hurdle without even knowing it.

And as you say, the British prepper tends to manifestly highlight that these types are not living in any of the top 3 quartiles of human intellect. You live on an island where with a motorbike you are basically never more than 60 minutes from a sea that is full of food, a sea that acts as a moat to your preppers castle. You’d buy a bike and a boat very obviously but no. No bike. No boat because prepping isn’t about getting away but about fantasising about living in a hole and shooting other people.

Exactly. In short, if you ever find yourself creating a ‘go bag’ that isn’t either full of your children’s spare clothes and kit so you can remove them from your wife at a moment’s notice before she murders one of them, or if it doesn’t contain a passport, a wad of cash, directions to Cheatahs in Las Vegas and a cover story about a property investment seminar then you have just taken your first step towards murdering a load of people in a shopping centre and should probably do what women do when they find themselves on the road to mental and buy a cat as it is much safer.

Like Homer Simpson once said: “It’s funny because it’s true”
Was going to mention guns, could part of the American fascination with them, aside from the limited practical purposes down to a desire to have the means to step in and be a hero like some kind of Bruce Willis, then go on the Tonight Show to explain how you thwarted a terrorist attack single handed but it was no big deal ?

Swan Patrol is pure gold, he has to be single, I cant imagine any partner letting that occur unless they are also a bit deranged.
