The warning alarm

Yes I did. My grandson was in the pub and all the phones went off and some people dropped their pints in shock.

jamesandJon33 I got this on my local community page - a joke from the Welsh speaker perspective, despite it being a concern that the English message was not first it made me laugh!

Got the alarm but no message so didn’t know what I was supposed to do if anything.

I actually think the shock element was good, because next time they need to use it, it might mean imminent danger, and people ignore warnings if they know in advance that they are going to be broadcast - and if your phone didn’t go off, it’s worth sorting it out now. I just hope that it shocked some idiots, young people who are deliberately starting fires in particular, into taking notice

Yes we were at a wedding and all alarms going off good job the service was over, the evening firework display was cancelled but they improvised and showed one on a screen😀.

I was in the kitchen and heard a funny intermittent noise and I thought ‘I must get some new batteries for the fire alarm’ it’s going off in a funny way, they must be dying! then it stopped for itself I went and sat down and the tv was on and a presenter of some kind said ‘oh there’s a fire alarm going off in the studio’ so I thought ‘oh that’s what it was not my fire alarm at all’
Then the message popped up on my phone which seemed quite some time later and the puzzle was solved but I d have probably been burnt to a cinder by then if it was fir real

Yes …. First one was in Welsh , which we didn’t understand. Ten minutes later the English version. My daughter had 4 Welsh alarms in a row.
My next door neighbour, a widow and 87 was terrified. She thought a fire was imminent.
They might have warned us we were going to get an alarm !

We all had this the other week in Australia. Preparing us for an all out world war ? Where would we go ? What would we do ? No follow up information whatsoever. They made the excuse that they would use it for bushfires but we have had things in place for that scenario since mid last century. Sometimes I think Tasmania is looking good ….

Yes not alarmed by it at all.

The minute our Eurostar train came out of the Tunnel this evening, everybody’s phones went off!
Quite alarming at first!

Yes. All of us, including the grandchildren (grandson not yet 11).

I got two ... one in Welsh, one in English ...

Was there a warning that that was going to happen?

Yes, London. I had no clue what was going on

I bet if you were in a supermarket you’d think the fire alarm was going off with everyone’s phone having the alert.

Yes. Left my phone in my bag downstairs at (SD
House with 3 floors, can’t think what you call them the now), but I blinking heard it all the way upstairs.
A good thing in my opinion.

Well, it didn't go off on my phone but as I was in the garden, I heard my neighbour's alarm.

We did. South coast.

Just had a phone call from 11yr old GS, he had the alerts and wanted to know if he should put his X box in his grab bag as his mum (DD) had said no…

Yes
