The Guardian, uneducated? Miseducated maybe.

Well quite possibly. Most of them seem to be idiot arts and politics
graduates which in my mind is pushing the definition of education
anyway.
Upshot is they think they're a lot smarter than they actually are.

Prejudice is such a terrible thing.

No, not always. Sometimes its spot on.

Chicken? Meet egg.

No need to be so aggressive.

Boltar is *always* rude and aggressive. It's one of the ways of spotting
him, regardless of his current monicker.

"Pretty much built to" ?

From your very own link, which you so thoughtfully provided.

" Above ground, each shelter's shafts were protected by specially constructed
'pill box' buildings to prevent any bombs that directly hit the location from
going underground. Each pill box housed lift machinery and provided the cover
for spiral staircases down to the shelter's tunnels."

"Two pairs of shafts were sunk for each shelter, with the pairs being sited
a distance from each other in case a bomb struck, blocking a shaft."

"Toilet facilities were constructed near the lift shafts, with the sewage being
periodically hydraulically pumped up a rising main to a sewer close to surface
level. There was storage capacity of 5 days for sewage should the hydraulic
mechanism fail for some reason."

"The air was filtered in case of gas attack. All doors were gas seals when closed,
and should there be an attack, the entrance doorways would be shut, with the
air passing through grilles in the roof of the pill box (clearly visible on
the Goodge Street picture below) and through gas filtration equipment."

Are you autistic? Yes, built to as in straight tunnels of train size running
in the same location as the express tube was designed. FFS. Of course they're
going to have a few extra bits if they're being fitted out as shelters.

Its not like I tried to keep it a secret. Anyway, you do realise "Boltar" was a
moniker too?

Well one does wonder since you seem to take delight in pointing out that
I used that particular handle in the past. It was one of many I've used over
the years. See if you can dig up some more. One person managed in the past
but then was he was smarter than most of you lot albeit even more assertive
(or rude and aggressive for Guardian readers) than me.

Train size ?

From your own link

" Each shelter consisted of two parallel tunnels that were 16ft 6in
(approx. 4.9m) in diameter "

http://underground-history.co.uk/shelters.php

whereas -

.. The Bakerloo, Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria and Waterloo
& City lines are deep-level tubes, with smaller trains that run in two circular
tunnels with a diameter of about 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_...infrastructure

Spot the difference can you ?

Or are you now going to suggest that despite all the extra expense
involved, this additional deep level tube was expressly designed
to accomodate extra tall people ?

running
in the same location as the express tube was designed. FFS. Of course they're
going to have a few extra bits if they're being fitted out as shelters.

Those extra bits being, in addition to widely spaced shafts, reinforced
infrastructure, air conditioning, sewage facilities, small details like
tunnels which were 5ft larger in diameter you mean ?
