      Well, I’d want to try to survive as long as possible, as long as I had friends and family around me. If they were all dying then maybe I’d give up and let the robots or zombies get me.

      I moved house recently and found that my new dining room table has legs that you can easily detach from the table. They’re fairly heavy and easy enough to swing (maybe like a cricket or baseball bat) and I was thinking that I could probably take out a robot or zombie with a good swing of a table leg. So I’d probably want to get one of those, get in my car and drive into the countryside with some friends. Zombies and robots would definitely take longer to get into the countryside than they would to take over cities, so it would seem sensible to go somewhere a bit rural or maybe just a small town. Maybe I’d stop at a big supermarket and steal a load of tins of food on the way. Then I’d see what happened next!

      (I just want to say that I don’t think we should bash people on the head with table legs or steal tins of food unless there is a zombie apocalypse)

      I’ve seen enough zombie films to know to avoid crowded places, specifically shopping malls. Firearms would be important, as would lots of tinned food. I think I’d probably try and get to an island, I don’t think zombies would be able to swim so an island would be safe, although I’d need a way of getting fresh water so I’d need a way of turning sea water into fresh water.

      As for robots, I’m not sure there’s too much that could be done about that, just hope they developed nice AI?
