But will they provide a paper bag to put on your head and a table to hide under? Not a true test otherwise.

Hopefully it'll work on Three mobile network this time.

I didn't get one last time out too

Re: Government to test emergency alert system
 

And fine, obviously it didn’t work as well as intended, so presumably they have tweaked the system and will try again!

Can’t really see any problem with that.

The M6 motorway reminded me several times today, I wonder if the 3 network gets it this time, I'll either be driving back from Wales when it happens or in Tesco.

I trust it went off w/o any hitches :)

I saw that he message on my phone, so unfortunately I missed the sound and must have been elsewhere at the time.
