When I was in charge of nuclear war planning for a large chunk of London, an officer in the Army top brass took me aside to deliver a chilling piece of advice.
“Forget all that protect and survive hiding under the table stuff,” came the plummy voice from under the peaked cap. “You’ll be much better off going in the first bang.”
Protect and Survive was a little pamphlet sent out by the Government telling us how to get through a nuclear war.
