The purpose of building safeties and fallback-lines like this is not to serve a purpose right now on contruction day, but to be available one day in the future in case that future conditions turn out to be in need of these. If they would be needed right now - it would mean they would have been built already too late.

Nobody. They just understand that readiness is all. In this they are very different from most other EU-peans. I have a longtime-friend of my age from Switzerland since university years, and now have become friend with an old gentleman from switzerland since half a year ago. They definitely tick differently, and give sh!t for EU-ean political correctness and the usual wanted mind control mainstream. And a majority of their population ticks that way. And I have learned to appreciate that, instead of labelling them as just eccentric or retarded. To me, many of their positions are simply based on healthy reason, and taking realities as what they are.

That I also sympathise with them being very EU critical and Euro critical, must not be further explained, I assume. The only thing I really do not like is how their banks profit from financial crimes committed by tax evaders in foreign countries. But that is a charge true for Luxembourg and Monacco as well.

I think the Swiss have the right idea. By the time you realise you need bunkers, it's usually too late to do anything about it.

Most of Britain's are in private hands now, being run-down and neglected I imagine! A few would make great Cold War tourist places but not many, unfortunately.

Aye, there's a load of the old Observer bunkers littered around the place too, most of them are waterlogged now, others are restored nicely, bit of a pick and mix.
