Which might have worked in case the Cold War went hot, even though I faintly remember something about a concept of nuclear missiles with the capability to ram themselves deep into the ground before setting the warhead off, so that you could also do maximum damage to any underground shelters in the area. Devious, but military technology often is exactly that.

That city suffered enough already, but I understand that the post-war rebuilding didn't exactly make Coventry prettier.

But now we know DI's toilet habits, so it's not a total loss. Or have we all lost after gaining this knowledge? I'm still undecided on the matter.
