Run away at light jogging pace.

Time to put year 9 drama into good use.

[T-Toe]

Haha, someone at my university asked David Mitchell that question.

[Ryan44]

I'd do the tesco idea as a lot of others have suggested, although the question is.. what would you eat first in tesco once the barriers go down and you are safe?

For me I'd probably go straight to the Cakes aisle where I'd open a birthday cake, probably cram two mouthfuls in and then leave it and head to somewhere else for food and drink. There'd be so many people rushing around there'd be waste everywhere!

[Vixen47]

Easy. Wear a worn out burqa which is smeared in fake blood made of corn flour (or whatever it was they mentioned in Scream) and some how get to my family's off-licence which is 12 miles away from my house. Under the offy we have a basement where I shall hide. On the way there I shall beat as many zombies as I can using a metal baseball bat. My cousin brother and I always debate which weapon would be best and he's come to the conclusion that a baseball bat would actually be the most effective but just to piss him off I say it won't. (Though I actually agree with him!) I can't wait 'til this happens!

The conspiracy theorist in me says that 21/12/2012 will actually be the beginning of a zombie apocalypse.

Zombies blood being infectious, wouldn't a baseball bat result in you with zombie juice all over you? Any tiny opening like your eyes, mouth, nostrils or a scratch lead to you becoming a very weird looking zombie

Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough of course! A zombie apocalypse is the one time all comfort foods will be needed. I can't wait!

[NR09]

Prabably go and hide out in the middle of the Cairngorms where there is nobody around for miles; very little chance of being seen or discovered.

I wear glasses, so my eyes are covered
Nostrils and mouth can be covered if I wear a niqab
As for the scratch, I'll just have to get some kind of padding/armour to wear under the burqa

Coming from a Muslim family really helps at times. (Though, no one in my family owns a niqab or burqa! )

[Pen Island]

Me and my friends have it all planned out
-Everyone grabs what they can from home: food, water, camping stuff, things to use as weapons, something for entertainment and, of course, alcohol.
-The people with cars pick everyone up and then we meet at Sainsburys and grab what we need from there. Also raid the petrol station.
-Then we basically do what they do on The Walking Dead. Drive away from town, find somewhere to set up camp and move around when we have to.
-Spend our remaining time getting drunk

[KJane]

I wouldn't go to a supermarket, I'd head to the local pharmacy and grab medicine, bandages, painkillers etc. I'd probably split up from someone and get them to head to local small food stores rather than massive supermarkets and then meet up.

There's a RAF base nearby that shut down over a year ago. It played quite a big role in WW2, the Battle of Britain Bunker is there. Barricading myself and my group at the base would probably be my plan. If not, heading somewhere remote.

[Alexandra's Box]

For everyone talking about the supermarket - as in The Walking Dead, what about the electricity? It may start to fail and then there would be no lights and no uncovered windows to give light, chilled food go off (though there'd be plenty more!)... pretty isolated and stuck!

I reckon that the ship idea is pretty good

[Chrisofsmeg]

Within reaching distance I have a walking stick, a bottle of scotch, a replica sword from lord of the rings and a few textbooks.

If I manage to get out of the house, as a choice of sanctuary I have the co-op, a bakers, a butchers, a greengrocers (It's a wonder they all manage to stay in business with that much competition), a dentist, a dry-cleaners, a DIY shop, a pub, a doctor's surgery, a post office a pharmacy and a dry-cleaners.

Dry cleaning chemicals and dental equipment would make for some suitably nice explosions. If I take the sword and the walking stick then I can pretend to be Gandalf. That's cool. Also, scotch never fails. It would be a shame if I had to use it as a weapon, it's a very nice bottle. Nick as much stuff from the aforementioned shops as possible and anything that can be feasibly used as a weapon. Also, there's an axe, a chainsaw and a few other things of that ilk in my garage.

Post office and doctor's surgery would be fairly useless, either to nick stuff from or to hide.

All in all, I think the pub's the best bet really. Unless it's been overtaken by zombies, obviously. Oh wait, ****, there are always mindless drunk zombies in that pub on a saturday night.

If they hadn't been turned, I think the chavs' aggressive tendencies may well prove useful in a war with the zombies. That said, regardless of zombies, I wouldn't feel overly happy arming a chav.

Run, nick useful stuff and hide. If it's got to the point where there are zombies everywhere then we're ****ed anyway, so meh.

Edit: My village is so remote that we've become rather happy of our isolation, hence all the shops. 10 miles from the nearest other village. Thus, if zombies want to reach here in any reasonable time, they'd have to drive or use the public transport. If they use the public transport system then we're sorted. The buses turn up every hour and a half...sometimes.

The worst that a zombie could do is to knock down a weak door. All that needs to be done is to just tell everyone to stay in their homes (and stay in their homes for at least 1 week), as it is most likely people have enough to survive for one week. Barricade the doors and stop them entering Then the zombies will have wasted most of their energy running around, and would have collapsed due to not being strong enough to stand. With no food given to them, there will be nothing for them to survive on, and this so called "apocalypse" could be over and done with in 2 weeks, assuming that this isn't a government scheme.

However, if it was a government plot, the virus would be airborne (and you'd be screwed no matter what), and you if didn't want to become a zombie, just set a Makita to strike through your skull, and that should do the trick. Otherwise, in my opinion you could theoretically still have independent thought and be a zombie (rage virus? ), yet have zero control over your actions.

Therefore, if there was a zombie apocalypse, it would probably be sent by the government as a population control scheme, and you would be infected by the disease already. There may be a select few given the vaccine, but if you're not one of those people, just kill yourself. XD

True but I don't think luxury comfort is what people will be most looking for when they're just trying to survive, in 28 Weeks Later, they hole up in that little storeroom outlet with no lights!

Although, the ship idea many people are mentioning sounds fantastic in theory, how do you get the ship back to shore constantly when i'm sure it will run out of fuel, how do you get the boat started, what's to say the docks won't be overrun or all the boat owners haven't had the same idea? Might end up in a two man fisherman's boat or a kayak Maybe a river boat anchored in the middle of a river or on a lake?

Why the pharmacy? Usually in all zombie related films, the virus is non-treatable once it is inside the body so that would make medical supplies redundant unless you anticipate a fight with another surviving group?

[winning11]

first i'd wait out the whole zombie panic transformation period, it'd be harder to get anywhere in mass public hysteria, then

i'd find an empty cruise ship

and somehow manage to get everyone i care about on it, then travel the seas picking up survivors/weapons/supplies, but first across the atlantic ocean dodging icebergs and zombie watchtower guys to pick up my family in nyc

That's actually a sweet idea. Although in the movies, they all head to the 'barracks' that everyone seems to know the location of which inevitably gets overrun, not the supermarket (like in 28 Days Later).

I can't really fault the primary school idea, my local primary school looks fully kitted out for a zombie epidemic, again the only concern is getting provisions and surviving whilst looking for supplies, how would you deal with that?

Thing is, I know where my local barracks are, and I know that to get into their armoury you're going to need angle grinders and welding torches. My basic plan is to take a couple of car loads of food up to the primary school, buy whatever else we can as we see what is occuring. Rationing the food we should last for a good two weeks, and assuming the zombies cannot climb over the fences I plan to be attracting them to the fence where they can be dealt with. From there it's a simple case of clearing out streets of food in hunting parties. With 7-8 of us kitted out in pads, some of us with ranged weapons, and the rest with blunt weapons. I live in a town of around 2000, so hopefully news reaches us before the Zombies and not everyone falls victim, and there is a small enough populace that the zombies around can be thinnned out. Once they start to thin out, we move into surrounding streets, drawing other suriviors to us. The area all around is rural, so if puish comes to shove and we are thinking of years without infrastructure it's really a case of taking over existing farms, and I also know a couple of locations of local warehouses, along with a location of an Army store that contains thousands of MREs
