I expect you'd most likely all be together in your lounge watching the TV broadcast before impact...waiting to die...hoping you die instantly...
I mean watching Love Island can do that to you.

Can't don't have a TV licence! Don't want the BBC coming round.
 
It's possible, who knows what Putin would do if pushed into a corner.

We may be about to get a great reset of sorts, but not the kind the WEF have in mind. :)
 
I'm 17 miles from the nearest military installation with a large mountain range blocking line of sight so in the event of a nuke I'd be relatively shielded. On the plus side though my survivability skills would finally have a use, I already love wild camping so it's not like I'd have a hard time, the only problem may be food, but while it's been a several decades since I last skinned a rabbit or gutted a fish, I could do it.

That's if the rabbits and fish haven't also died. You'd need a few more skills than that to survive
 
I am ok - I still have the instructions they gave us in 50/60s - Also still got the table and sheet we had to hide under. Safe as houses us .:cry:

I wonder if we'll get some updated instructions? Don't hide underneath anything IKEA, buy some bottled water, stock up on Heinz soup, if you can afford it.

We live in worrying times,we do, its a distinct possibility again, isnt it. That thermo mutually assured destruction stuff!
This is hard to talk about stuff I know, but must be on the back of folks minds given the current circumstances ... I honestly never thought I'd see the day when a clearly madman like Putin bandys about the usage of Nuclear weapons again as if it were normal :(
Back in the day and in the original cold war My Dad was in the RAF at Wildenrath West Germany, GR1 Harriers, Phantoms n Stuff... it was a tense stand off game against Russia.

As a kid you kind of got used to the sirens and Dad had to scramble, it was all Tacky Vals, sort of an abbreviation of Tactical Evaluations I guess.

Had the same thing in the 80's, my Dad was at RAF Bruggen. I actually miss all that, we had a great Cold War. :D

2 miles from a US airbase and its one that I am sure would be on the list, spec ops and mid air refuelling
Another only a few miles further up the road and not that far from Cambridge

I glory in the fact I will likely be melted in the first wave and not have to fight over cans of beans (Heinz are best no matter what cheesefest thinks) with my neighbours
In fact I may paint a white Z on my car and drive at fully speed towards the base entrance just to make sure ;)

So NATO has almost been disarmed because the British have given up socks of operational AS90s which are going to be replaced before 2030 anyway?

In other news, the world is almost out of Brie, because I'm down to my last 1/4 in the fridge.

No need to worry. If putin goes nuking thier will be debris everywhere! :D
 
One things for sure. It wouldn't be boring if it happened, and would resolve any current retirement issues I may have. Maybe its time for a more resilient species to have a go at evolution as well as ******* up the planet
 
Guess if there was time and warning I'd grab my Swiss passport and head back to my country of birth to take my place in the fallout shelters they have for citizens. Doubt I'd get the luxury of the heads up though!
