Firstly, guys, read World War Z! Written by the guy who wrote the Zombie Survival Guide.

Ahem. If the zombies are slow:

If I am at my flat in Scotland, I walk calmly to the kitchen, grab as much food as I can, gather my flatmates, then start trekking into the wilderness. There is very little else I can do.

If I am at my home in England, I take all the food that I can gather and place them at the top of my stairs, then I sabotage the staircase to prevent zombies coming up. I have a ladder at the top of the stairs anyway.

If I am at my flat in London, God help me, best plan is to escape as quickly and as calmly as possible. Possibly clamber onto the HMS Belfast and pray it can move.

If the zombies are fast:

God help us, I'm going to be screwed if this happens. Might just wait in Scotland or London for the fires to die down before attempting to escape... but that might be a massive mistake as zombie moans are known to attract other zombies and in London there'd be a LOT of zombies. On the other hand, my flat in Scotland is pretty much a fortress in itself, just barricade the 3 entrances to the flats and I might just be fine after killing the infected.
Listen to this guy, for he speaks the truth... For there are two sacred texts we need to seek, if we stand any chance of surviving this thing... Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, are all we need, and they are awesome books...

If zombies invaded the UK, I wouldn't go around killing zombies or trying to make shelters like the rest of the sheep.. I'd use this opportunity to get a crew together and rob the shit out of everything in sight.

First thing I'll do is grab my shit list and go around brutally killing everyone that's ever wronged me.
Second thing is to find a nice base of operations then clear the place out and install some heavy traps and security.. from the outside I'll make the place look like a slaughterhouse you'll want to avoid so no one will even contemplate trying to get in.
Thirdly I'll go around killing alot of humans and zombies to perfect the killing technique and fully desensitize myself to it.
Lastly i'll use my new found skills to rob people of their rations, no need doing all the work when i can just let them suffer and die collecting it ... then kill them and take it

When i'm fully set up THEN ... and only then will i think of ditching the lone wolf act and getting some backup

Move Further north. I'm already in Canada, so Winter is safe. Hopefully that'll buy us enough time to get the hell up to the Yukon or something before spring and we all get eaten alive.

Moving up north before the panic strikes has ALWAYS been my zombie plan.

if they're slow zombies, not the really bad ones, then i look for a weapon and dig in for the fight.

I'm gonna assume for the purposes of this discussion that the zombies are the result of a biological attack/new virus which renders large swathes of the population zombies, with the bite delivering new strains.

First move would be to get to the large hardware store the next town over from me. It has only 2 exits, and one can be sealed by a heavy metal grate, so it's easy to barricade, water butts out the back for drinking water, solar panels on the roof for power, and with large numbers of spades, hammers and garden forks it's the quickest way to arm ourselves.

From there, send out a party to steal a bus from the depot a few streets over, get it back to the store, then set about stripping any metal we can find (from cars, non-essential shutters, rails, etc) and fixing it on to make it zombie proof, with a large metal skirt to prevent zombies tipping it on it's side.

Organise the bus party to steal fridges and freezers from nearby houses, then while home camp wires them up sent them back out to pack as much food into the bus as can be scavenged from nearby corner shops (large supermarkets make it too easy for a small group to be surrounded and overwhelmed). Final move, raid the shotgun makers off the town square, for some ranged firepower. stick it out for a month, if no response from outside world, then start moving in house to house action to clear out and seal off streets.
