From Dan Smith
My own town has its own signs to a “secret nuclear bunker”. So far I have
resisted the urge to add the word “formerly” in spray paint to these signs, on
the grounds that I might be arrested for acts of gross pedantry as well as
vandalism.
I went to see this bunker, advertised as “an all weather visitor attraction”.
Inside I found the most remarkable advertising poster. It showed the brutal,
modernist outlines of what is visible of the bunker from above ground, with
several people in the foreground waving while dressed in radiological protection
suits.
Behind bunker and people was the mushroom-cloud outline of a nuclear
explosion destroying the nearby town. Underneath it said, “Welcome to Hack Green
nuclear bunker.”
