The country’s in a state now could you imagine after a nuclear strike it would be a living hell for how long you lasted if it happens best go in first strike imho.
Ah, memories of local councils, assuring people that "(insert council name) IS A NUCLEAR FREE ZONE." I remember asking my dad, at about this time actually, what we should do if the Soviets dropped "the bomb". Dad; Pull up a chair.
As he got the bus into Manchester and passed by the ‘Manchester, A Nuclear Free City’ welcome signs (emblazoned with a white dove), my grandad would quip: ‘I hope someone’s told the Russians’
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I reember Labour's Nuclear-Free Zones. They never did explain how their bold signs woud prevent a nuclear bomb from exploding in the "protected" zones. I always assumed that Labour: a. thought nuclear bombs could read b. believed nuclear bombs would be sufficiently well-mannered to respect polite requests not to explode over or otherwise contaminate self-declared nuclear-free zones. c. were bonkers d. were incapable of understanding that MAD was not about promoting war but about preventing one: speak softly and carry a big stick works far better against any bully from the playground upwards than speak softly but " I can't defend myself if you choose to ignore my soft speaking".
Think I would stay up stairs in the big house, find the booze cupboard and got comfy for the few days left. Who sayd ammageddon has to be uncomfortable!
0:16 kid looks bloody terrified. That AWFUL feckin song On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at - I remember as a kid at the posh school I endured (thankfully got only three years) some maniacally smiling posh kid stood up in assembly one morning in the early 80s and sang it. This was a posh school in Guildford Surrey, I might add. It’s like the Americans all Claiming Irish heritage, the monied of Surrey claiming Yorkshire heritage. Nothing like painting yourself white and ducking under a school desk to deflect the 1000 megaton blast 😂
i'd rather be a pile of eradiated ashes that spend more than a week with someone from yorkshire. i have to say, its one of the dullest places i've ever been. i say this as someone from the east midlands, as well.

This is Dark. Chilling. Sarcastic and hilarious. Most British thing I've ever seen.
Don't forget. "Threads" came out two years later. It was the times, friend.
might need to dust this off.
A few beers in the back of a Van, singing songs and watching the country side slide by… looks like a nice time

She was a genuine lady.

For what? Growing magic mushrooms, dope plants
2:41 Now we know where, or should I say who David Williams got his inspiration from.
They were my thoughts exactly 😊
I always heard there was a secret tunnel from the public toilets in town all the way to Cusworth Hall! This may be evidence of such a tunnel!

You can't miss it. On the A604 on the way to Rotherham just past the filling staion.. If you get to Ilkley you've gone too far.
I don't know. When I drive past interesting sites, I tend to miss them if they're under ground.
4:13 aint that an earthing cable?
80 people would not survive a month without a warehouse full of food and water.

e. All of the above require logical thought processes to understand. Labour councils struggle in this department.
@@smile768 So true!
@@smile768 So do the Tories. They keep trashing my city's budget and give themselves pay rises.
@@TammoKorsai same where I am, pretty sure the MP for here doesn't even know where the town is
The council is just mad that their bunker is under supplied... They're pretending to be against nukes, but they really want a more posh bunker!

Very cool I think Americans needs to get a few of these
I'm not sure what's more depressing: a neverending nuclear winter, or 10 minutes in a nuclear bunker with dull Yorkshiremen... 🤔

As a dull Yorkshireman I sympathise with your predicament.
