It`s a spooky place Porton Down, it`s about 30 minutes from here and you just get a few glimmers of chimneys and things as you pass it, over the valley in a car.
I must say though, locally it has allways been discussed about as THE chemical warfare venue.
The Sky News article reads very much like Homer Simpson dropped a WMD, whilst rushing home from work and forgot about it!
I made a dreadful faux pas when I played to many of the serviceman from Porton Down, years back, at their local pub.
I walked on stage and said "Hi, what`s it like at ground zero?"
I still can`t apologise enough for a duff joke in which you could hear the tumbleweed blowing across the room as a response...
