I've yet to see bricks combust and light...
They will if it is hot enough. It depends on the composition of the brick, some types of brick are more resistant than others.
Apocalypse Happened would you?

Partition walls, joists, ceilings, rafters, food, clothes, ammunition, fuel etc would be much more a worry than the bricks catching fire

Currently we have no access to the internet except for the OCUK site and forums how weird eh?
Does this mean the apocalypse is imminent, if not NOW?

On the other hand, aren't an alarming number of gun murders committed with the victim's own gun?
Surely that is down to hesitance, or to the gun holder not actually intending to shoot.
I would pool together some family and friends, get some guns and a lorry or two and then stock up on food, fuel (probably try and grab a few fuel transporting lorries full), water, generators and then, cars, boats, bikes and ATVs for some mad max style fun. Then a nice pad.

Read Last Light by Alex Scarrow that will show you how quickly the UK would fall apart if oil ran out and therefore our country went into meltdown.

They say clean fresh water is the biggy, without it you're dead pretty quickly (days) .. so that would be #1 (if mains still good, fill up the bath and every container I could find with water for example. Otherwise, supermarket raided for bottled water as much as the car can physically hold, as many trips as I can do until I feel threatened).
After that I'd raid camping shops for gas, those wind-up torches, tents, knives, and water-purification tablets. By this time if any services (leccy, water, gas) were still up I'd be presuming they're gonna go down any second. Trying to completely remove my relying on them.
Third is as much tinned food as I can get my hands on from raiding supermarkets. Also try and get a band of people together that I trust entirely. If communes or communities are being set up for, say, mutually defensive purposes - I'd join - unless they were doing something gay like insisting we keep the very elderly unhelpful pensioners alive or the very wounded alive or share out the food equally no matter who bought what to the party (including to people that bought nothing) - nope!
I actually wouldn't worry too much about weapons. My plan would be to be inconspicuous with my goods .. all very well hidden, telling anyone interested I had nothing. After about a month most people are going to be dead anyway, it's going to be relatively barren, so easier to keep to yourself. I actually don't think you'll have much problem with security unless you flaunt what you've got.

People wont just accept there is no food and simply die you know...
They will actively look, and fight for it. Not simply be 'interested' and ask politely.

Considering the vast majority of people would have died in the initial attack or collapse the chances of finding hordes of people fighing over food in the initial months highly unlikely.
If their were plenty of people then some form of law and order and authority would have been maintained in the first place and as such it would not be the apocalypse just another instance of civil unrest.
Did you read the OP?
Yeah, he said the large part of the population had died, something you earlier dismissed.

At what point did I dismiss that point?
Also, that is not what I meant by my last post.

Ok yeah, but I'd like to see a molotov cocktail do that.

They are on the inside of a house... Setting a fire on the outside of a house isn't going to light the inside.
