Bunker bid allows British man to escape Christmas
A British man is heading underground behind blast proof doors and three-metre thick concrete in a bid to escape the stresses of a family Christmas.
Colin Wood, a 30-year-old financial services worker, has coughed up $A857 to spend two weeks alone in a decommissioned nuclear bunker in Essex, east of London.
He has even foregone traditional Christmas fare, opting instead for a frugal diet of processed luncheon meat known as Spam, baked beans and tap water.
"He certainly seems to be a little bit disillusioned with Christmas," bunker owner Michael Parrish told Reuters.
"I gather it's like being in prison without the exercise hour or worse because you can't look out of the prison bars at the sun or the moon," he added.
Mr Wood was one of 50 would-be bunker dwellers who bid at Internet auction site <a href="http://www.bid-up.tv" target="_blank">www.bid-up.tv</a> to hire the site where even Santa is unlikely to venture.
