"All pilots to your planes. Repeat. All pilots to your planes. Coastal Defense radar has picked up five rafts of jerry bombers with fighter escort inbound over Dover. Intended targets include London and Coventry. All pilots are requested to be airborne immediatly."

I'm directing a one act about a post-nuclear London this semester. The characters have paper bags over their heads the entire play, and at first I laughed thinking this would be a riot, but then realized that people seriously thought things like that would help. I can't say I don't expect laughter from the audience, but if I can get my actors not to play for laughs, I think people might realize the implications. (Right up my alley, too, as I'm a political science major!)

No matter what people say the siren worked. Perhaps too well No matter how frightening it is you secretly want one of these on your phone to scare people :P

I live around 8 miled away from Leicester, it's scary to think that where I live right now might have been bombed if the Germans didn't miss us and hit Coventry. Also it's cool to think that we once had such powerful production power, leading to the multi-cultured city that we are today.
