Just thought I should remind everyone.
Our Government knows something we dont.It was Air-raid sirens in the old Days, and now this.The word Putin springs to mind..
...or doesn't. We can't be sure. So our choice is between stressing and paranoia (possibly what they want right now, for more cynical reasons) or we just raise an eyebrow momentarily and move on.
IIRC, the closest we ever came to a nuclear exchange happened in Sept 1983 on some random afternoon when a flock of geese triggered a false alarm. The UK and the world got up, went to work, school, the dole ofifce, shopping etc. while nervous fingers hovered over buttons and keys were turned. A terrible misjudgement was narrowly avoided. Would worrying have helped? Or is it best that obliviousness spared all that?
