I was in a family of seven and we used to have a Morrison shelter in our house, it was really just a reinforced table. Unfortunately this shelter was far too small for all of us to fit in the conventional way and because of this our legs stuck out the side. On one night my father woke my mother up by laughing and when she asked irritably 鈥淲hat is so funny?鈥 he replied, 鈥淚 just realised what a load of twits we would look with no feet!鈥
