So I can come to you if I have to Britify something?
But of course! :-D And if I need to Yankify something...? *g*
I think the paint might have been equivalent to the 'cover' part of Duck and Cover. i.e. to save your eyes from the flash. But the idea that given, what, 30 minutes warning? Less, maybe, seeing we were so close to the then USSR - anyone was going to have a) the sense and b) the time to paint all their windows with emulsion, then collect together tables and doors to make a rough shelter in the middle of their house and stockpile food and water there enough for 48 hours was, frankly, ridiculous. I remember much derision at the time.
