OK, so it's down *to* the bunker or down *in* the bunker. I'm just asking
because of my language geekery. I still don't know, though, whether "down
the bunker" without a preposition is idiomatic in some dialect of English I
don't speak fluently. I just know some UK English speakers pronounce "down
to the/down at the" ALMOST the same as "down the", but I believe
there's
still a glottal stop in the former but not the latter.
How about: "There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis"
Can we get back to the on-topic stuff now :-)
