Thanks for the reminder, my mrs would’ve panicked, she only has to hear a car or house alarm going off and her anxiety kick in, who? What? When? Where? Why? 🤣

Reminds me of the Fawlty Towers episode where they were having the fire drill and there was a real fire in the kitchen.

Imagine if there was a genuine emergency today bang on 3 p.m. It would be chaos

The last time this was tested my phone was one of millions that didn't broadcast it. I will be interested to see if they have fixed that.

 

[Rudi Hedman]

That was nothing. Pretty pathetic actually.

I’ve had them abroad and I thought my phone was broken.

Nothing on my old Nokia, so I'll be ok I guess

 

[Badger11]

Mine worked this time I even heard it through my Bluetooth hearing aids, also got a text message. Last time nothing, so they fixed it.

My network is ID Mobile which is a white label for the 3 network.

Apparently OG pressed the emergency alert button when Guehi was about to leave with no suitable replacement

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

Didn't hear a thing, although my phone was stuffed in a drawer while I'm watching the Italian GP.

 

[cryrst]

Why now though is my question.
Are there things happening or about to happen. Maybe the ‘far right’ yup ok
Or the 5th legion ready to go !!!

[BromleyMonkey]

I forgot all about it and had the lawn mower going outside and missed it. That’ll be me dead then 🤣

You’d better, otherwise a family of immigrants will move into your house

Rumour has it the government are going to use this to alert us if someone has posted a hurty Tweet.

Mine didn't go off, but Mrs Hillbilly's did.
So she checked my phone to see why, and that emergency signal seems to have filled my phone with pronographic downloads. Bizarre. There was no other way the phone memory could have been filled like that, so it must have been the emergency signal.

Anyone else have that problem ? 😀

Not me, mine was already full of smut and the 6 seconds of vibration were a welcome contribution. Definitely voting Labour next election. Unless of course Reform offer 12 seconds.
