Dawn of the Dead

The politicians have done their politicking. The boffins have done their boffing. But in the final reckoning, all have come up short. My friends, we were all wrong, for now we stand on the brink of a zombie apocalypse.

Where to tackle your first walking dead

There's no choice but the Royal Armouries, is there? You could choose your own era to fight zombies in; you could decapitate them with samurai swords, disintegrate them with contemporary weapons or defenestrate them from the massive windows. Hell, there's even armour for your elephant here.

Where to go for supplies

Supplies are what the Brits do best. A strong wind blows over our wheelie bin and straight away we're down at the local supermarket, buying their entire stock of tinned fruit. If there were really something to worry about, you'd imagine that we'd all be well-versed in what crap to pick off the shelves. Now, get yourself to one of the excellent independent stores. At Yum Yum, you can sample high-quality produce and know that you're not sponsoring the next generation of new zombies as you would at Tartco, for example.

Where to loot

Nobody's going to be worried about you taking a few cans from the shelves of the supermarket if there's a herd of zombies going round chowing down on people's brains outside, are they?

Tea-leaf some high-class Peter Maturi kitchen gear first. They have an excellent selection of knives, so you can always cut yourself down if you do get strung up for it.

The last stand

Last stand? More like last fall down. The end of the world is nigh and there's only one way to stop the pain; a right proper session. You want to feel special. You want to get yourself down to Oporto. Get yourself all zombied-up man, and meet the apocalypse with a whopping great grin all over your chops. And if some of your nearest and dearest happen to get massacred by a passing zombie hunting party, never fear, everyone knows the score at Oporto; you'll soon find a new bezzie mate.

Where to await rescue

The best place to await rescue is without doubt North Bar. Haven't you ever wanted to try every beer ever invented? You'll certainly have time to achieve this feat to make even Homer Simpson proud, and what's more, when the Americans arrive to liberate you, you'll be able to ask them why the only beer they seem to drink tastes like piss.
