This blog found it of great comfort to hear that the government of the day was concerned about the effects of a Nuclear strike in the 1950s. It was also great comfort to note what exactly the concerns were.
They could have been worried about riots, the need for fresh water and even coping with radiation sickness. However, and this is where I find the deepest comfort, their concern was for supplying tea to the nation. Only in Britain would this be of utmost concern, and dear government, I salute thee.

That's hilarious. Maybe in the NW they would be worried about having a coffee supply for survivors.
BTW if a nuclear attack were to hit the UK wouldn't it be especially devastating given the large population in a relatively small space (compared to say the western United States)?
