Demand for nuclear bunkers is exploding, says a man who builds them.<\/p>\n

Paul Thompson\u2019s fallout shelters business is having its busiest year ever thanks to worried Brits. Orders have boomed amid fears World War Three could break out because of the trouble in Ukraine and the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Dad-of-one Paul set up his Lincolnshire Nuclear Fallout Shelters five years ago after he constructed a bunker-style retreat for a friend. His firm is now handling three or four new inquiries weekly.<\/p>\n

A family version with two bedrooms, a kitchen, living space and even a bathroom can cost around \u00a390,000. Paul said: \u201cIf the world was peaceful and happy, there would be no work. One customer said that he would rather have a bunker and not need it, than need one and not have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul, 43, from Spilsby, Lincolnshire, says his customers are professional people, many of them parents, who wish to protect their family in the event of a major incident. He said the people buying his shelters are all \u201crational, sensible, intelligent people\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThere\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with preparing\u2026 if people want to label you then they can, let them. But your family will be protected. Five years ago I built one for a friend. I had spoken about building one, wondered how difficult it was and he said \u2018do you fancy building me one.<\/p>\n
