Should I go ahead anyway?

I'm sure there'll be a specific building regulation making it a serious offence to protect yourself. After all, it would be unfair if you had a shelter and other people didn't, wouldn't it? You should pay a heavy tax to the government so that you can no longer afford a shelter...

;-)))

If you only have just the one nuclear bomb then a simple shelter is fine, a simple lean-to or car port could be used. Ventilation is important to prevent internal condensation, standing the bomb on bricks will also help prevent insect infestation. Don't allow it to overheat in the midday summer sun, the bomb's active ingredients can start going a bit runny above 50C.

Now, this could be a problem, ownership of nucular weapons needs more than just planning permission, you should start looking at how to build a silo

Ok, you certainly want a silo then.

However, if you've set your heart on a bunker then look up the Archie brand, they were supposed to be quite popular in the states

Be careful moving it around...

Well it'll probably be all right if he follows the same proceadure as if he'd worked for a builder through PAYE.

He'll just have to build three other shelters (that's all) and donate them to the government who will give them to useless scroungers who have never done a day's work in their lives. Ensuring as a secondary benefit that after the holocaust the government will still be assued a majority in the elections.

Given the importance of owning a truly independent nuclear deterrent, I don't think the owner can afford the time delays associated with self-build - just buy one:

Just build one in the bedroom.. you can scout out the area for a skip or two and get some used doors to lean against a wall, add a few sand bags and a bucket and away you go.

this is because of the French?

Yeah, that'll keep out mobs of crazed zombie survivors pursued by T1000 killbots....
