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

The national system for sending emergency alerts to mobile phones in the UK will be tested again this September, the government has said.

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

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