I do like the Guard's Shelter. This is another good page(s) on Air Raid precautions and types of shelters: Air Raid Shelters
I've heard of a number of instances where people refused to use shelters because of their claustrophobia, or fear of being buried alive, with tragic consequences.
A convent near to where I stay, had in its garden a one man air raid shelter, which was tiny. However they converted it to be used by the Nuns as a place for meditation and relaxation! I saw a similar one at the Overloon museum as well!
I understand a lot of people also refused to use shelters as bombs were only a possibility. Spiders were a certainty
Perhaps the spiders from mars Andy. :noidea: The guard shelter does look a bit tight. If I were the guard I would remove the headwear before entering it.
Oondreds of legs. You never seen a British spider? Use their webs as trampolines and come at you at eye height
I was told once that the average household contains 1500 spiders lurking unseen. I didn't sleep for weeks!!!! (and now that I have remembered that, it has probably put paid to tonight!!!!)
:laugh::lol: Very nicely done, Morse! It's okay CT, we eat several a year in our sleep apparently.:becky:
very crunchy if I recall. Yes I did wake up part way through. Once you've sat next to a cat thats happily chewing away on a spider bigger than your hand, then you know what crunchy is.
To be optimistic about the several hundred spiders that supposedly living in a household, they keep other nasty creatures away!
hehehe. Oh my....Kitty, your quite the bitter anti-social. Just messing around. Unfortunately I understand you!
