Definition of syren

chiefly British spelling of siren
The design of those sirens dates from WW2 and I'm willing to place a small wager that some of them were actually manufactured then.

Probably the labels stapled to the storage crate employ this archaic spelling and everyone is still waiting for the memo to change it.

Anyway, here's a cheery take on nuclear armageddon.
