Emergency alert today ?

[Drago]

The government have banned me hanging my Y fronts outside as its a hazard to the East Coast Mainline, just over a mile away.

My phone went 'off' a few weeks ago - siren noise as I was cycling to work - I'd already switched off the 'alerts' but this caused them to be switched back on. Off they went.

The initial testing went well.

On Y front day passengers are advised to travel by the West Coast Mainline and bring a gas mask even if the wind is blowing from the west.

TBT - You need a cattle prod Geiger counter to hand at all times when in the vicinity of him.

Remember the animated film When The Wind Blows? That was about my neighbours battle to survive Y front day.

I was under the impression this emergency alert was a national warning that the warmer weather will mean that @Drago will imminently start putting his badly stained and disfigured underwear out on the washing lines again after years of national outcry?

I don't think that it's quite that serious.

I wonder how many people are wondering how best to hide that 'spare' phone from their partners.

I believe there has been advice gone out from some agencies to people in abusive relationships who have an emergency phone a partner doesn’t know about to turn them off before the alert is due.

I’ve turned the alert setting off anyway as it’ll just give me a fright!

Quite Mo.

Just sounds like people ringing alarm bells unnecessarily to me

I had enough of that working in a prison. I still want to jump up and run if I hear a similar alarm.

Oh Wow !!! Don't blame you. My version now above ^^^^^^

My phone rang and flashed at work today too ! Thankfully it was just a customer. So I stuck it on mute. Sorted 👌

You don’t want those pesky customers getting in touch.

I know right ! Work does fill in the gap between weekends ok generally. But at times it's just so inconvenient.....

Mum told me (folklore I suspect) of a woman in Northumberland circa 1940 who left her washing on the line at night. The whites were visible to a Heinkel who loosed his bombs on the target for want of somewhere , anywhere to drop them, given evertything else was in darkness.
Now, Northumbrians are reputed to be a hardy lot...but that seems a bit much, damned Nazis.

Dragos reputedy offwhite underwear however.... would remain unsighted by the keenest of eyes of night
