If the oil does run out there will be no more food at all from over
seas. Except what we get from sailing ships.

What a delight it is being able to discuss some form of transport
other than cars for a change.
I see on TV an experiment being done with a freight ship being towed
by a large kite. Maybe there will be a return to sailing ships,
hopefully,

Bwahahahaha. Given that it is you who starts most of the car-related
threads, that makes you a HYPOCRITE!!

Perhaps you ought to start less car-related threads, then?

There is no way in which the long and variable delivery times, small
payloads, higher safety risk, and smaller operating season of sailing
ships would be able to provide sufficient perishable goods to be able to
sustain the current population of this country. No chance whatsoever.
So, that gives two options.
1. Become more self-sustainable as a nation, through eating locally-
produced instead of imported food.
2. Reduce the population, drastically.
Which is your preferred option?
