Strangely the last caravan from the womens peace camp at Greenham Common only left a few years ago. Presumably the silly bint realised that protesting on the side of what is now a business park was a bit futile.

Then again perhaps people just don't care now. Until recently I lived a stones throw away from AWE in 'Aldermaston' (Tadley really) and even the protests there were half arsed, attended by a few new age hippies with dodgy beards and funny bright stripey knitted clothes. I swear the police could have dispersed them with the threat of soap and water.

 Dont dis stripey knitted clothes....well jumpers.....I did a few Aldermaston marches......after its 50's heyday.....more Aldermaston revisited, chief highlight seeing Mark Bolan,  when he was still in his fey hippy phase, with Tyranasaurus Rex.....playing somewhere "in a field in Hampshire"

Fairly sure they still store nukes at Welford as they are made just down the road near Reading. That is why quite often you get a short stretch of the M4 shut at silly o'clock in the morning, so as they can move the weapons without some cunt in an Astra weaving in and out of a convoy of nukes!

Ha ha, bless her.

Apparently she is a teacher and we were giving her some flack about being a Yank over here.

She responded by saying "yes, we have to come over and teach all of your stupid idiotic English children" or similar.

At which point I produced my 11 year old youngest son.

I have never seen such prolonged profuse apologies from an American before...

Mark Thomas did a program maybe three years ago about hidden places on the map, one of them being the arms dump near Newbury.

He also went to Corsham barracks, underneath which is a bunker system, supposedly to house the leading members of our society in the event of a nuclear strike.  They let him down there(anyone can go if they arrange a trip), but you could guess he probably wasn't allowed to see the full extent of it.  Alledgely the bunker even contains a replica of a traditional English pub......so everyone will feel at home while we're suffering from the fallout :dead:

Some of those that si-pie mentions were indeed nuke missile stores/ bunkers. Others were command and control centres for military. Others were for national and regional govmt in the event of nuclear wars.
The bunkers at corsham are fascinating and fucking huge but no longer used for military purposes. I beleive they are now used as secure storage facilities for financial organisations.

There are apparently only 2 nuclear bunkers in the country capable of withstanding a nuclear winter and will be used to house some locals for breeding, and some royalty and government folk. One is allegedly under the magistrates court in this very town, the other in Colchester (or Chelmsford, i don't remember...)

More interesting than secret motorway junctions is the London Underground:
http://www.londonrailways.net/secret.htm

Supposedly there's a secret lines around London for use by the government, Buckingham Palace has it's own tube stop, and there's an underground route all the way from London to Corsham into that secret nuclear bunker there.

There's a theory that all the crap about not being able to dig for archaology in certain 'protected' places is to prevent someone disrupting underground buildings, roads and railways  :shock:
