1:30 - 2:15. Enjoy the money while you still can, you hungry shopkeeper, as it goes without saying that it will all be unserviceable in a few weeks!

If something like this were to happen i would pack up as many tins of food, bottles of water/Irn bru, blankets, fuel and shelter material into my car as I could. And piss straight off up to the highlands. Don't know how much good it would do me through, in the event of britain being nuked I think the entire country would suffer horrendously.

@PaulUmbarger That would of been battle field nuclear weapons. or nuclear subs. There much faster than the B-52's delivering nukes. Back in 1965 the BBC's nuclear war docu drama Wargame postulated that the entire war would start off by such a launch of these weapons against foward Soviet invading forces, which would be crossing the West German plane.

@SpermCannon Do you think they'd have any special offers if nuclear war was going to be imminent?
