owl61uk Distinguished Member #1 Just noticed this on the BBC News website. A siren-like alert will be sent to mobile phone users across the UK next month to test a new government public warning system. It allows the government and emergency services to send urgent messages warning the public of life-threatening situations like flooding or wildfires. I am sure the conspiracy theorist will love this. The government will send people loud, siren-like warnings to alert them when there is a risk to life.

#1 Its that time again when everything's meant to be light and fun, but what's your Christmas hate? It could be family meet where you've got a relative who is an absolute dick, maybe you hate having a tree in the house and having to decorate the living room. Or maybe you have grandkids who just go mental disturbing your peace, or the compulsory attendance at the works Christmas party? Its your gripe I want to hear about. For me, its these things. I detest Christmas jumpers.
