  • Y'know it's the end of the world when traffic wardens get SLRs!

  • That is exactly how it would have been in the UK. Maybe worse. I saw it first time round. I was 23 at the time. Mates who were in the reserves were called up to go to Germany for exercise Lionheart. It was all very real.

    Many of the posters here were not even born then.

  • "I used to love a fag after a meal"

    I know it's ref. to cigarettes, and the context is pretty grim, but come on, it's kinda humorous in today's verbal climate.

  • I watched this and couldn't help thinking it was farfetched, but then it hit me how close it was to happening, and how real it could have been

  • @EmperorMarcusNovius amazing, a morbid video showing what life is like after a neclear war and all the comments about about cross uk/us vocabulary and prawn cocktail crisps lol

  • Just goes to show that the british people have allways been suppresed by sick feudal relics whose sole purpose is to ensure our total misery at the hands of thier law.

  • @EmperorMarcusNovius Well, we now have bacon flavored ice cream. Never let it be said that we Yanks are not inventive...

  • @EmperorMarcusNovius Thought so! (Thanks!) I do understand the difference between "chips" in the US versus the UK (what you call crisps, we call chips and what you call chips, we call fries). We do have some odd flavors of crisps here as well (ketchup, dill pickle, etc.), but prawn cocktail sounds horrible!

  • @EmperorMarcusNovius Forgive the "ignorant American" here, but what exaclty are prawn cocktail crisps? Don't tell me that are chips flavored like shrimp cocktail. YUCK! We don't have anything remotely similar in the US.

  • ewwww 3:47 shes double dipping

  • Christ, even after a Nuclear War, things are still being run by bickering public servants stuck in an office somewhere!

  • @Avantime absolutely right, but u need a leader that is acceptetd by the group
