Extreme times call for extreme solutions? :wave:

Morrison shelters were designed particularly for those without the garden to dig/build an Anderson Shelter. They also doubled as a table during daylight hours. By all accounts these were generally effective and somewhat dryer, warmer and more comfortable than the other option.
