Might be worth adding a reminder to your calendar (to reduce being startled):
"The national system for sending emergency alerts to mobile phones in the UK will be tested again this September, the government has said.
It will see compatible phones vibrate and make a siren sound for 10 seconds while displaying a message at 15:00 BST on 7 September, even if they are set to silent."
I'd forgotten all about it and was trying to make a call when it cut in, then I couldn't get rid of it and had to turn my phone off and on again as it wouldn't let me make any oher call or text, I thought it had totally knackered my phone for a bit, it took about 20 mins before I was able to make another call or text and when I did turn my phone back on it did it again.
One of the things I was thinking, was where are shelters in the UK, I know there are a few remaining WW2 Anderson shelters that have been repurposed into garden sheds, but unless you live in London or somewhere else with an underground network where are we supposed to shelter?
My phone is new, only a few months old, but isn't a smart phone, I didn't get the previous one they did, maybe because my old phone didn't do 4G and the new one does.
