Also.

I once had a Fillipino GF, it was a very short lived affair and I would not reccomend a fillipino GF to anybody, but that's a different story.

But anyway, during my time with her I learned that Earthquakes are a common affair and mandatorilly they all the the exact procedure's of what to do should an Earthquake happen.

Apparently things like laying under the bed are a big no no because you could become crushed/trapped by falling debris.

Apparently the most sensible and safe thing to do is to stand in a door-frame which for whatever reason offers much protection.

I'd still be tempted to go for the "Under the bed" option myself though.

   Under the bed is for nuclear attack.

    It may be difficult for some of our younger readers to contemplate, but at the height of the Cold War around 1980/81 when the USA were deploying  cruise and Persching  missiles at Greenham Common ....that the Government had to issue civil defence pamphlets like Protect and Survive, which described simple  methods for trying to survive an attack.

  Such as sitting in the cupboard under the stairs and piling sandbags and earth bags o the stairs.....if no cupboard take down doors and make a lean to or sit under a big table and in both cases fortify with bags.   Of course lay in supplies of food and water.  This led to periodic panic buying of bottled water etc.

 Some entrepreneurial types even made a bit from building proper shelters for the well  heeled.

 Think the majority  of the population stuck their fingers in their ears and went la la la la it will never happen, while some of us got on with protesting.

Well tbf they were right, weren't they?

 Indeed on this occasion they were right.....personally I think it important that governments know they cannot expect to get away with decisions without  raising some extra parliamentary opposition.

Wasnt their a nuclear bunker underneath the now demolished police offices on fleming way?

  Its a distinct possibility.....back in the day, it was always good fun to reveal how councils and other authorities took steps to ensure their own survival, while doing fuck all for Joe Public.

  Their counter argument of course always being that in the event of attack, it would need organisation to run the country still.

My history teacher used to work for the american goverment, and was told that it was the shelter for this region, should any royalty or Mps or any important people be in swindon where it about to be blown up

Until other stuff like cunts going around looting your stuff and foot shortages kick in and you get cancer.

Nuclear isn't that bad, if Fairford gets done we'll only need major repairs to the house at worse.

The fall out warning seems a bit complicated.

Its all abit comedic these days but I still find it kinda scarey

The truly scray thing is that should freaky countries like N. Korea and Iran figure out HOW to do it, then there is a fair chance that they will.
