I'm sure brown paper bags had a useful antiradiation capacity.

Why else would HMG have included the advice in "Protect & Survive"?

If a nuclear bomb goes off, lay on the floor.
If you get a runny nose and your eyes itch, stab yourself in the leg with a combi-pen.
If someone starts clanging their pots and pans together, get you gas mask on and shout "GAS GAS GAS!".

That was about as sophisticated as it got.

Sooner or later the conversation would turn to repopulating the planet. Good call to ditch Suity in that case.

Not so sure about that - With his four kids, he's well on the way already!

That must have been the episode in Sharpe where Dan Hagman saved the chosen men from one of Bonaparte's nukes, using his trusty vinegar & brown paper.

Probably waxed paper bags were more for thermal protection, either from the initial blast or keeping warm in the subsequent days holed up in a shelter.

Here's an interesting looking Nuclear War Survival Skills ebook for Suity to obsess over, with a foreword by Edward Teller no less, the original Dr Strangelove himself

I remember a former army serving relative telling me that was their drill when stationed in Germany too. The action on nuclear alert was the somewhat more parctical advice 'put your head between your legs, strain your neck as far forward as possible, and kiss your arse goodbye'.

MF, in case we're chased by enemies and need to block their route with a large round object.
DA, for his devious nature and associated low cunning skills.
MS, in case I need a second opinion on correct apostrophe usage once the Internet has disappeared.

EO - You need someone who can charm his way out of trouble and tell a good story
DA - those references might come in handy come day, he's probably well connected
Cojak - because she knows how to use a banhammer just like Thor

See, I knew zeity would prove useful.

Rule:1

I agree with Cojak - she's resourceful, cheerful (when the banhammer isn't out) and knows how to make beer
Pondy - he usually makes me laugh
Troll - loads of people for the price of one
