The band last tweeted around 3am British time on Thursday morning (20 November), digging in as another snow storm was about to hit and discussing whether British people like peanut butter. They are currently surviving on vodka, "dry goods" and a nearby cafe.

So...Paul is all like British people don't like peanut butter and I'm like, not true. Public opinion?! Peanut butter is awesome.-DK. Truth.
