The number of wars is unrelated to the munitions used.
Don’t you remember? World war 11 was fought between Gurnsey and the Isle of Man over the last battered cod in the whole of the British Isles.
11 million killed, 24 million wounded.
Where’s that? Would be extremely rare here in Northern Ireland to see that lol
Of all the times I’ve considered the National Trust and Police interchangable, bomb disposal is not one of them.
Gotta watchout for those plasma bombs!
That’s the one where they will start using time travelling bombs
01929 is Wareham, so not too far from Bovington, so there could easily be ordnance in that area.

We’ve not had that many wars, it’s just people have forgotten that there was a Roman numberal system… They probably mistranslated two i’s for 11…
Must be from the future. WWlll in binary encoding.
World War 11? I thought there were only two.
“I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 11 will be fought with magical time travelling bombs which go back in time and bury themselves under the British countryside, ready to explode in the distant future when an unsuspecting clone unit steps on one.”

World War ELEVEN?! 😲
We have similar nearby at Fauld. Sudden drop and bombs 😋
Funny thing was: when I was a kid (way back) you could actually walk around inside the crater. The only thing we were told was to not kick anything metallic 😂
I stopped counting after the first two.
I spoke to someone in the Royal Navy when I was at uni in Plymouth (we did kickboxing together). The Germans dropped so many bombs and ammunition that not all of it went off. They were counting on some of them exploding, not all. So you may find some rounds or explosives that never went off. RN bomb squad will handle it.
Edit: just realised the joke!
We’ve had a couple of old hand grenades turn up on the hills in north Wales over the past couple of years, usually from old home guard training sites. Must have chucked them, sank into the peat, not exploded and then just been forgotten about.
we had this from an SSSI back in the 90’s some kid brought in a rusty ball, turned out to be a mills bomb. his dog had dug it up apparently. so the local SSSI is a mossland/wetland that the local Royal ordinance factory and filling station would dump defective items, cause they’d just sink into the peat.
many years later it’s a rather nice nature reserve, we just can’t dig too deep…
It always makes me laugh how fucking hysterical this country gets with this stuff yet you have French and Belgian farmers just dumping it at the roadside over there to await occasional removal.

Maybe they meant to type WWII.
What is the location?
