Hi,im 12 years old and im also making a zombie survival guide based on british landscape and laws etc. it is very very detailed with probabilities of finding suitable weapons,availability of supplies,and all about zombies and the virus.I am currently writing a version then copying it onto the computer to look neater, but if the book flies of the shelves, I will put the original handwritten copy up for sale for a bit more money though.

Hopefully, it will here in the UK – when you look at it, we’re in a terrible situation – crowded islands, no guns, most of our army abroad -basically, we’re screwed if the zeds arrive….

Saying that cricket bats are still brilliant weapons – perfect for bashing ghouls aside as you tear through zombietown on your BMX.

I’m so happy that someone has decided to bring up the Sean of the Dead bad ideas. That should make a big difference when preparations are needed.

Well, in terms of the stats, the UK has far fewer guns per head than say the US. You can own a gun but the licensing laws are very strict so it is mostly shotguns people use for clay pigeon shooting.

You can get a “certificate” to get a licence but this involves the police & in some areas of the country is really hard work.The result is that for most of the population it is virtually impossible to get fire arms, particularly for any more advanced weapons.

Add into that they most people are so poorly trainined with firearms then they would be more of a liability.

One exception to this, as ever, is criminal gangs in our cities centres who seem to get their hands on firearms…even then it is nothing like the numbers you see elsewhere.

So, guns are rare here in the UK – to survive the zombies, we are going to have rely on guile, our sense of humour, poor food & sharpened sticks….

I also feel that cricket can teach us some more lateral lessons. The fact that a seemingly daft and futile sporting contest can last for four or five days and stil end in a draw, should teach us that there are no quick fixes in life, and least of all in the realm of zombie-survival. Secondly, a billion Indians can´t be wrong. Thirdly, it teaches one the importance of never trusting an Australian (see Zombiephiles link to Í love Sarah Jane´). In addition, wickets (the upright bits of wood that the bowler – ball thrower- aims for) can be used to pierce zombie brains.

Unfortunately cricket equipment is f*** all use against triffids, but who cares The Zombiephiles.com is so comprehensive a survivalist website that you can even be instructed in that fine art.

I think Britons should also be aware of the usefulness of cricket as a defence against zombies (Americans be aware that zombie-slayering is not the only sport in which a cricket bat is used). Firstly the protective clothing is pefçrfect for zombie-destroying: a helmet protects the head; a ´cricket-box´the ´meat and two veg´; gloves protect hands and allow one to punch wihtout fear of infection, and the spiked shoes give good purchase on fallen bodies. The armour´ is also ´light, so that one can run if needs be. Also cricket balls (which are a lot harder to catch than nancy-boy baseballs, and of course caught bare-handed not with bender-boy gloves the size of dustbin lids) can do much damage and when spin-bowled can entirely fool even the most nimble undead opponent. Plus of course we all know how effective a cricket bat is against a zombie skull.

One final word of advice. Learn from the duration of cricket. A single test match can last five days! Sometimes it´s worth stopping for a tea-break!

Firstly thank you to AstraDaemon for those kind words.

It’s true, we are poorly prepared for the zombies over here in the UK – no guns, few police, more people per square foot than you can shake a stick at – things are going to get ugly here.

From emails, I know many of you out there have poor access to guns as well so I hope my guide will help….

Got to go now, I am trying to create a tea bag mountain in my frontroom, enough to see me through the whole show…

Ladies & gents, keep your eyes peeled…
