During the cold war?

Question

You would find signs at various county borders saying2NUCLEAR FREE ZONE" this was before the advent of intercontinental missiles,Did ppl expect the Russian bomber crews to read these notices from 50,000 feet.

Answer 1

LOL - very good

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you're after a serious answer, but the main reason for doing this was for local councils, I think they were normally left wing, would declare themselves nuclear free in that they didn't want nucelar power stations, weapons, storage or anything like that in their area. Where I used to live you would occasionally get convoys of US cruise missiles travelling through so called-nuclear free zones, as I don't think the military powers or the govt were really bothered. I don't think it was aimed at the Russian missile targeters ;-)

Answer 3

Various Left Wing Councils were producing so much hot air, they knew that with all that air rising any nuclear fallout would not reach the ground.
Atom Bombs would have been blown off course to Bognor Regis or where-ever the Yanks chose to attack next.
Or the Councillors were so stupid, they really meant Free Nuclear Zones thinking that this would cause a sex tourist boom.

Answer 4

Yes, during the 80,s there where less left wing wankers than there are now, but because we had a right wing government they used to shout at the government louder, and one of the things they thought was naughty was nuclear bombs. So they decided to spend millions of tax payers money on signs in the road just like you saw, a lot of the left wing liberal wankers have now become race relation advisers its a growing industry for lazy council workers in the UK ;;;;

Answer 5

No, the Rosenberg's sent the aircraft semaphore messages.

Answer 6

Sure they would and if you believe that then I have some ocean front property in Montana to sell you.
