I hope this is something we can opt out of. It's making me angry / anxiety rise (I can't tell which) that we have to be subjected to this. It's another way to keep us frightened.

  • That's what it sounds like, keeping everyone scared. I wouldn't want to be in the UK right now.

    On the first day of the month every Monday, there is 'catastrophe protection' alarm practice at a pharmaceutical near where I live. The siren sounds exactly like what you would expect if a nuke was coming our way. In September they have extra practice and the siren is tried out three times, three times as long.

    What kind of catastrophe would a pharmaceutical be expecting, I wonder.
