Title: Building Regs.....
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 26 January 2017, 16:15:08: ..... in Singapore require that a bomb shelter is built into a house! :o ;D

Who knew? ??? ::)

I found out as I've recently been staying with friends who have recently moved there. Their bomb shelter is underneath the house and is accessed via the garage, through a 4 inch thick steel door! :)

It does make a handy shed though and I doubt anyone is going to nick my mate's mower! :D ;D

They actually describe it as a household shelter (as its far from bomb proof) and most of the accommodation has them as store rooms or pantries.

Not in my mate's case I hasten to add as they don't have a maid, but apparently it's not uncommon! ::)

My mate's bomb shelter is full of shite! ;D
