That's pretty true. If London was nuked, the fallout would be hitting areas like Reading. Bristol would be out of the way, unless the winds helped radioactive partlicles in their journey to our lungs/skin/eyes/anywhere else.
I think the prospect of a dirty bomb in the olympics is a plausible scenario. Same as a plane crash. However, I'm unsure of whether a terrorist organisation would actually do that. I'll make a post about it in a minute.

RE: Ground Zero
forget it, if we are nuked thats it-we're all dead, game over. so if i'm dead i'm not going to worry about it, nothing i can do about it anyway, this sort of thing is not on my radar at all, cos like i said if it happens we're all dead anyway. i'm more concerned about dirty bombs and terrorist activities.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: Ground Zero
I for one will just worry about things i know i can deal with, a Nuke strike isnt one of them, your dead, end of.

RE: Ground Zero
There all nukes to me, what I'm trying to work out is how far away you'd have to be from each type of bomb to have any hope of survival

You can check initial blast areas by nuclear wield just by doing a google search, However it's more the radioactive fallout and it's dispersal and affect on habitat and life that presents the problem after, all these will be affected by the weather and so no clear and concise answers would be possible.

RE: Ground Zero
Our country is just too small for us as a society to survive an all out nuclear war. Most remote areas will be untouched by the blast but could, depending on winds, be subject to fallout. If they target all the major cities, London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast then 90% of us would be impacted straight away. With the rest being impacted by fallout, refugees and/or starvation.
It is one of the worst scenario we consider due to the resildual radiation and the impact on animals, crops and the environment.
No one in the UK can be fully prepared for this unless they are rich and can afford an underground bunker with plenty of stores.

RE: Ground Zero
Yeah, don't think I'd wana survive an all out war, not if there was no way of growing food for years and years, rather die fast then from starvation and sickness
