Protect and Survive

Though I must admit, in the original leaflet pushed through the door, there was information saying not to expect buses to be running once you came out of your shelter, but, joy of Joy's, full time employment, squads of us would be assigned to fly swatting duties.

Weren't you glad when this leaflet dropped through your letterbox?

At least you'd have an extra piece of paper to wipe your arse on during the fortnight you were entombed, ha, a fortnight? They just wanted us to dig our own graves!

We had all sorts of lectures on that subject when I was in the Fir Brigadee, we even had a gadget on the control room wall which we had to test aout 4 times a day, if the signal was steady everything was ok, all those green Godesses & AFS were part of the system.
One officer (a right clever beggar) was telling us how we would be deployed in the event of a nuclear attack, he saw me shaking my head, and said what would you do then, I told him I would sod off home & protect my own as long as I could. every thing else would be a waste of time and effort.
