Awe its just a great big Yokel fest Mind you I do admire those two great west country political and social icons who are the pinnacle of West Country evolution Jethro and Pam Ayres

[bigpaul]

I think you'll find Pam Ayres lives in the Cotswolds, and Jethro("what happened was") a true Cornishman actually lives in Devon not far from me.

unless its a life threatening event like nuclear war, a toxic spill or a large fire I don't see people leaving their homes at all. in say an economic/financial collapse people will sit tight and see what happens and expect the govt to come and save them, it will take some time before they realise help isn't coming. and most people if and when they do leave are more likely to head for relatives places than wander aimlessly looking for a "safe" place to stop, like some caravan or camping site.

and on the subject of caravans, just look at any major road, say M5,A303 or the A38 in the summer and you will see the tailbacks caused by caravans and campers.

I can think of an occasion when the southern most parts of the southwest would be the only place to make for....when there has been a nuclear or chemical release(accidental or intentional)obviously because of the prevailing winds and the nearest plant being hinckley point and the nearest potential source of contamination being devonport dockyard....far south west...well Cornwall really

[bigpaul]

the PREVAILING wind is FROM the south west so any pollution goes away from the area, Hinckley Point is in Somerset and we have Exmoor and the Quantocks in the way and as I said the wind goes AWAY from the south west. actually Hinckley Point C is why we moved away from Somerset.
