Much as I like living, having watched 'The Day After' I'm not sure that I'd want to see the aftermath.
Somewhere in the southern hemisphere.
Meh I've had a good innings. Nothing interesting has happened since the 90's anyway. I suppose the ketamine/minimal techno thing in the mid noughties was mildly amusing for a while.
I remember being worried about this as a kid when we watched When the Wind Blows.
My mum cheerfully said not to - we live near to Northolt, and even closer to a fairly big army base. If the first wave of missiles don't get us, the second certainly will.
Outside of a limited strike the bunkers aren’t there to ensure the survival of those employees in some sort of magic long term repopulate the earth manner, they’re there to ensure someone can still launch the nuclear arsenal.
