The days when the regular British Army 150,000, and the T.A. 75000 strong.

It has food supplies for several months. Or one, should the cabinet members arrive and start having their Lunches...

We had those big grey teleprinters in the Royal Observer Corps HQs. Weighed a ton. Had the bomb dropped my plan was to hide behind one, no way a nuke would have moved it :-)

It's amazing to think, this was filmed back in the days when BBC employee rolls weren't known yet to correlate with the sex offenders register, all the royals and politicians were thought to be on the whole more interested in duty than anything more sinful, and the adjudicators of sinning were still allowed one to one contact with choir boys! Journalists still seen as hunted doggedly for news, not copy pasting up wikipedia, and their noses with charlie; and the internet wasn't yet broadcasting cat pics and porn according to taste into all homes 24/7! What year exactly was this, how were things between us and Europe at that time?! Had Gorby torned down that wall, yet?! Rwandan genocide happened? Falklands glory attained by the time of this?, miners, workers generally, been branded as troublesome scum, yet?! Nixon was a crook already, I guess, but did we know it?! It's gotta be filmed later than that, right? I'm trying to guess based on the appearance of the film. Were Noel and Blobby gunging people at their house party yet? Was Freddy Mercury still around, and could you still talk foreigner by shouting loudly that you were British?!

And the words "if you've had an accident at work that wasn't your fault" had never been heard on TV yet!!
