I'm not aware that conscription is still valid in the UK, didn't it stop in the 60's ?
Too old for it anyway, though my IT and telecommunications skills would possibly make me desirable.
How would you get conscripted ? Based on passport or on electoral role ?

He is right, man power wouldnt be needed - but that wasnt really the question and to be fair, the UK has been so good at what we have done because we are an island and make life easier to defend ourselves as opposed to other nations. Personally I dont think we'd have anything to worry about for a minimum for 50 years - the countries that are screwed up enough to try any serious conflict are so far behind the rest of the Western World anyway.

I tried to join the TA once and they didn't even acknowledge my application, so if the do call me up they can get stuffed. I was not good enough for them then and ten years of drinking and smoking later I'm pretty sure I would be very low on the list.

So not exactly SAS but still better equipped than your average fatboy Walter who has read a few Andy McNab books.
I know SN loves to take the mick but if it went horribly wrong, I'd be better equipped than most to deal with it.
So ner you fat geeks

Well, if WW3 does break out, it's going to get very hot very quickly. Think 2 or 3 big Nuclear Bombs from Russia would wipe out all of Great Britain.
I just need enough warning to make Cheryl Cole mine for 20 minutes.

Same training as the TA but with officer content. And passed a POC and AIB. All low level stuff but more than most. I was a damn good shot at the APWTs too. Add high fitness levels too.

If it had not been for the British spirit and the outstanding leadership of Sir Winston we would be living under the jackboot right now and I can assure you that you would not like that very much!

If we were all not prepared to defend our own country from attack then we would deserve to be subjugated by another country which just walked in and took us over.
