I lived on top of quite a high hill in Somerset before moving to Poole.
There was a lady in her 80s who was in charge of the air raid siren. She was
to sound it if we got the four minute warning of a nuclear attack! There was
a meeting the village where ex-army officer Colonel what-ever-his-name was
gave us a lecture on what we had to do if there was a nuclear attack on
Taunton in the valley:
A nuclear bomb would be more likely to be dropped on Taunton in the valley
than on the Government top-secret radio listening station on top of the hill
we lived on.
Nuclear fallout would stay in the valley.
There would be survivors from Taunton, and we had to be prepared to take
them into our homes.
4 minutes was sufficient warning for people in the valley to gather
belongings together.
Yeah mate! Sad thing is, he really believed it.
