"Pack a few essential items in your car boot to make sure you’re ready in case of getting stuck in wintry weather – this can include a torch, in-car phone charger, warm clothes and blankets, high-visibility clothing, jump leads, food and drink, and a shovel for snow."

I did this, I looked really stupid on the bus.
That sounds like the Express has simply re-hashed the standard advice about power cuts that's always to be found on the British Gas website:

(I've checked their recent press releases and nothing's showing there).
The Express hasn't exactly got the greatest of track records when it comes to predicting the weather!

For goodness sake. Talk about making a drama out of something. Do they honestly think that most adults cannot cope with a few hours without electricity? We can lay our hands on most things that we need within seconds. I can even trot outside and cook dinner or boil a kettle on the bbq. Clearly a slow news day.
I do not view these as emergency supplies. They are standard items I keep in the house (in fairness though, we do live in the back end of beyond and it is VERY dark out here and we have regular power cuts).
We have rechargeable, motion activated lights on our stairways and landing which are kept charged as a matter of course, the torches are kept charged, I've got candles everywhere.
I view "wine" as an emergency supply since after several hours making conversation with each other, I might need a drink.
I'm down to my last sixty toilet rolls, thirteen cans of Heinz cream of chicken soup, a dozen cans of Heinz beans and little sausages. My spare fridge has about 160 500ml bottles of Pepsi Max.
My mum regularly ran out of stuff and I was sent to purchase whatever it was, with the instruction to not come back til you get it.
I like to be organised.
