Hope no one’s climate anxiety has been triggered by this.

3network ToN, seems 5 or 10 minutes behind your notification.

I was on a packed train when they did the first test a couple of years back.
I didn't get the message at all, but alarms were going off spread over 20-30 minutes with some lasting an hour !?Crazy, seemingly unable to turn them off.

Surely the Russians have no need to nuke us, they can sit back and watch us, and most of Europe, self destruct.

Big Brother calling. It's turned off on my phone, and has been since the beginning.
Report saddo August 16, 2026 5:42 PM BST
There were side effects of this belated alarm call. Domestic abuse sufferers with
secret mobile phones were outed, as were prisoners in jails.

The governments emergency alert has led to the fire service having to beg people not to clog up the emergency 999 number with phone calls about their neighbours having BBQs.

Couldn't make it up.

Why they did it one day before the heatwave ended is a mystery. Grin

Mike Graham was after a new Burnham alert.

It certainly looks like it didn't put a dampener on the Pakistani Independence day fireworks in London.

What a country. Half the population wet their knickers when they get a text from the government.

Calm down, you should have recovered by Christmas.

More people wet their knickers than blocked the alarms.

Same koolaid drinkers, maybe too much koolaid, with climate, and farrage, and

Full Access to send everyone Messages I wonder what else they can do with our phones if they wanted to ?

It wasn't just a text though was it Nobby ?  The alarm was so loud it would have even woke Donny up Grin

No problem with them sending out advisory messages, but an emergency it was not.

Didn't have you down as a Daily Mail reader Nobby, every day's a schoolday Grin

Do you think the government will send out an emergency alarm text to us Southerners advising of the imminent threat of rain and to remember to use an umbrella if venturing outside and to wear appropriate attire for the wet conditions ?

Might issue a straw man warning when you log in.
