Government Emergency Alert

Unread post by Ray B »

Only read out it this morning, but it could happen on a phone near you between 1pm and 2pm.
Could be a surprise for those that are not aware of the test alert this afternoon.
Don't worry, be happy

I think I read something about this last week but didn't really take much notice of it.

Looked at the Government website and an Emergency Alert system is certainly being tested but there's nothing about any test today.

Between 1 & 2 pm next Tuesday…. ‘No, Miss, I haven’t got a mobile phone. It’s in my locker in line with school rules.’ ‘What’s that noise?’ ‘Err, not sure…indigestion, perhaps?’
