Mums are funny creatures. In my very earliest working years I worked for (what became) BT and spent a few weeks as an apprentice working in Birmingham Anchor, the underground nuclear bunker telephone exchange beneath Birmingham. (I don't think it's secret any more? If it is I guess guys in black suits will be knocking on my door very shortly!). And yes, there's one under many of the major cities in the UK. (I'm just making it worse for myself aren't I?). My mum was terrified for me, she somehow imagined than me working in a nuclear hardened telephone exchange made the threat of nuclear war somehow greater. Mind you, given how little I knew back then and how much sercure kit there was down there she might have been right...!
