Sadly, nothing new - I grew up in Reading, the county town of Berkshire, during the delightful years of the cold war and the American occupation of Greenham Common just down the road with their lovely F111's. As children we all knew full well that in the event of the buttons being pressed, we would all go in the first wave, in a flash of glorious light, being as we were living in the sinister shadows of both Aldermaston and Greenham, with Porton Down just down the way...When those risible government guidelines were published on what to do in the event of nuclear war, everyone where we lived just joked about how we'd all be gone within 2 minutes round here so they could have saved the paper.

I am so glad to hear that a whole new generation of Berkshire children will grow up with this same solid sense of their own destiny...

I lived near philadelphia PA at the time, as an elementary school student, we were told to hide under our desk and kiss our arse goodbye...

No objections to the plans were raised by the Environment Agency, Health and Safety Executive, Natural England or the parish council.

Climategate?
Who is in who's pocket?

Object they should
