Underground 'Cold War City' For Sale

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the underground-the-weather-is-always-nice dept.

Hogwash McFly writes "A huge underground complex that was built as a nuclear refuge for the British Prime Minister in the 1950s has been put on the market. Code-named Burlington, the bunker now has a population of only four maintenance workers, yet sprawls over 240 acres and accommodates 60 miles of roads. Underground power stations supply energy for 100,000 street lamps and amenities include a railway station and a pub called the Rose and Crown. Among ideas suggested for the £5,000,000 bunker include a data centre, wine cellar, rave club or fifties theme park. It is not clear whether a tank for keeping laser-equipped sharks is included, however."

      I find it absolutely hilarious when people lose karma for a fp, and don't even manage to get the first post. It's self-ownage at its best.

      I find it even more hilarious when people making comments about people losing karma for not getting a first post lose karma themselves. It's not self-ownage so much as it is a public proclamation of their idiocy.
