The land of perpetual 'closing-down' sales, IIRC. I seem to recollect a band
called 'Brentford and the Nylons, as well.

Quite true. Hadn't even thought of that.

I won't sit at a window seat then. Not that that would make an awful lot of
difference, but still.....

Would foam earplugs (such as we bikers wear, but available from Boots,
etc) help diminish sudden pressure waves? (Yeah, you'd need one up each
nostril and to keep your mouth closed too, but you get my drift...)

Possibly, but I couldn't have anything like that near my ears right now -
got quite few stitches just inside my ear where they took out some
cartilage to create a new stapes :-)

ooops :-) thanks. Slight slip there. :-)

Odd question I know, but I'm going on this route tomorrow (to see the
Kelvedon Nuclear Bunker, as per an earlier query).

I had a serious ear operation last week and underground tube journeys
or sudden changes in pressure due to trains entering a tunnel can be
dangerous for the next couple of weeks.

(snip)

Are there lifts in the bunker? Can you avoid using them?

No lifts as far as I can remember. But best to double check - I don't
want to be held responsible!



Even if there is a lift, there will always be a stairway equivalent for
fire escape purposes, so I'll just take that.

There's no lift in Kelvedon Hatch. I imagine ther would have been a
shortage of lift engineers in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse
should someone have got stuck in one. The positive pressure used to
keep any fallout from entering might have caused problems when the
doors were shut could have caused ear problems I suppose, though when
they cut through the wall to create the exit a few years ago it kind if
negated that problem.
As for any problems with trains passing how about industrial ear
defenders, a tampon up each nostril and a ball gag? That should stop
any distress. :-)
