With uncertainty on its way over the UKs withdrawal from the EU some people are taking things to the extreme to prepare for if we crash out without a deal.

The Manns are one such family that started stockpiling essential items several months ago, insisting its a matter of survival.

Nevine, 36, and husband Richard, 37, buy extra food and medicine every time they go shopping and now have enough food to last them at least four months.

Nevine Mann, 36, and her 37-year-old husband Richard have been buying extra ingredients each time they go shopping. Now, the amassed goods on their kitchen table are enough to survive a no-deal Brexit for at least four months. But Nevine, who lives in Illogan, Cornwall, with her three children Oliver, 18, Ethan, 13 and Paige, five, insists this isn't about luxuries - but is a matter of survival. Nevine, a former midwife, said: "A little while ago we were aware that Brexit was in the offing, and it seemed like there would be issues with securing a deal. "The results of a no deal Brexit would be catastrophic in terms of getting supplies in the country, certainly in the short term.

Nevine added: Were not going over the top, weve got enough to get us through the first couple of months if there is no deal.

No deal Brexit is looking more and more likely, were waiting to see if the new deal goes through or not.

If that doesnt go through it will be no deal because there wont be enough time to sort another one out.

Its not about being able to live comfortably, its about being able to survive.

Nevine said they bought more dried food because it would last longer not just for them but for their pets as well.
