expats may remember an advisory document relating to "What to do in the event of a gas attack" appearing in numerous places and I think on what looked like British Consular paper.
The recommendation was:
"If caught in a gas attack, rush into the nearest Center (also the name of the only big store at the time) strip off and cover yourself in flour."
I remember one bloke saying "Rather than see some of these people naked I will take my chances with the gas"
Tallg. Scuds gave rise to scud watching from rooftops. One got through the defensive pocket between Dahran and Bahrain. CNN announced an alert about it and we were all on the roofs with binoculars but it apparently landed in the sea between the mainland and Qatar.
Now a useless fact. Did you know that you can't play darts in a gas mask?
