You already have the answer, contained in your own question; because I'm not so sure. Puts are a dangerous game. I'm sure enough that the UK consumer is getting poorer to divest of shares; not sure enough (especially on timescales) to outright gamble on it. A lot of people have been 100% right that a company is doomed and then gone on to lose a whole lot of money on puts.
So far it's worked out very well. I moved the money into space and green energy.
