How far did you walk to school ?

When I was at school we were shown a film about what to do in the event of a nuclear strike. You were advised to get under the dining table and not to look directly at the explosion.
It's a shame the residents of Hiroshima weren't shown that film.

I remember the government films on this subject. Get under your dining table and build a kind of den around it. Failing that get in a cupboard under the stairs, if you had one lol. Like the instructions on what to do if you are in a plane crash, you might as well put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye.
 
Infant and junior school was about 100 yards..! I lived on Mather st Failsworth and the school was at the top of the street.
Secondary school was Radclyffe Chadderton, bout 3 miles and I went by bike or bus.
 
Senior school was 2 buses each way. To walk was about 3.5 miles.
