I actually laughed out loud at this lol.
And then one of the biggest and strongest of the people you invited in will challenge you to mortal combat, they will kill you and take your home and your women.
Sad but you know it's true.
Remote locations is a must, On the way i would raid B&Q and get myself a load of windturbine's, solor panels and generators to give me some electricity, I would need to set up some sort of security camera system on my newly acquired house in the middle of know-where, set to work on building a large possibly electrified fence to keep nasty people out.
If not a rural area then an island just off of the coast like that st Michaels island, good for defensive and lots of green land for cattle and crops and also has the ability to access the mainland at low tide.

I'd drive up in my new tank and blow your wall down. Then rape and pillage with the gang.

I think regardless of preparation and stuff it's pretty much pot luck in a situation like that.
All you guys saying 'well I'd get a weapon and TAKE WHAT I WANTED'
Think you'll be the only one doing that? Think you're the most ruthless of the people doing it in your vicinity? Can you even shoot straight? Could you put an axe in someone's brain pan?
It's all well and good saying this stuff but be realistic, the first few weeks or probably months after it went to pot would be filled with panic and murder and chaos. Who actually got out of that would be largely down to luck.
Anyone heading towards the obvious food/weapons store locations will be in for a bit of a shock seeing as everyone else will be going there too. Personally I would try my best to stay away from the most obvious places, unless I'd had some sort of advance warning and could be confident I'd be there first.
Apart from that I have a reliable, economical, off-road ready motorbike that can carry luggage and quite a lot of sturdy and comfortable protective gear, so I suppose that'd be an advantage. Would only take one person to knock me off my bike and take it though. It also wouldn't take long for petrol to become very scarce indeed, or at least all in the hands of people that will want something in return for it, or simply be hoarding it. Every petrol station would become a miniature fortress run by scumbags. So would every supermarket.
I'd try and keep a low profile as much as possible, get to somewhere where you're reasonably confident everyone else won't be, or if other people are there, you can spread out enough to stay mostly out of harm's way.
I've got an air pistol that looks legit from a distance, **** knows how much that would be though, outside of intimidation, but that could spectacularly backfire as well.
I don't think it'd take long for mob rule to come into place, and after a long period of complete mayhem, the numbers would be slimmed down considerably, then the real 'survival' bit would start.

Hmm yes that could be quite a dilema. But if everyone was treated the same and I didn't try to "rule" maybe it would work for a while!

Dam... I wonder if theres anything lying around the farm that could be used to counter heavy armor? Maybe use the jcb to dig some ridiculously big trenches.

its starting to sound quite fun compared to the usual 9-5!
Do you live anywhere near there? Hey you could travel through the Stargate to another populated planet.

Great idea, use the stargate to go to a better world.
Straight down to the docks, steal/hotwire the biggest boat I can with gps on it. Go to local supermarket, fill a trolley with tins and drinks, and sail of the azores or some close by islands that no one bothers going to.
Hope that zombie disease isn't airborn. Convince locals to create a navy of ships to defend my new found kingdom.

That sounds like an answer you'd give if this question was posed at a job interview!
