Wow, I missed that. Slightly worrying. I had a quick look and it seems as if that you can make sure yr not disturbed if turned off or in airplane mode or connected to a 2G or 3G network or on wifi only.
On my birthday, St Georges Day (April 23rd) will be a national test.
That’s interesting the government is saying that - if that’s what they’re saying then I’m sure it’s correct. Previously my understanding of it was that the alerts will work to switch on a phone which is off (these days handsets are never truly off unless the battery is completely discharged or disconnected) or wake up a phone on aeroplane or silent mode. I’ve seen some information about the alert system through my work as there is also stuff going in the background to do with prioritisation of mobile handsets, i.e. preventing or enabling certain phones being able to call or send messages during an emergency, for category one and two responders under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004. However I don’t work in the telecoms world so I only get snippets here and there.
Nearest Waitrose is nearly 40 miles away!
I am really really hoping that they open something like this near me soon. The nearest laundrette is nearly 30 miles away, whereas we have a couple of largeish garages within three miles, and it would be fabulous to be able to take washing to a drier and do a job lot of bedding now and again. My house is too small to have space for a tumble drier and, in winter, I get tired of wet duvet covers hanging around the place when it's too wet to put them on the line.
In the US last year my phone picked up a couple of text alerts for missing children, despite me not being a US resident.
How I wish they would do that over here - I go to the laundromat a few times a week, and with the homeless and assorted derelicts that hang out there, washing up in the bathroom, etc., I'd rather be outside in the air!
Doesn't matter - the transmitter sends the alert & all phones in the radius get the alert if they're able, resident or not.
I've had one of these, in 2018, when an Islamic-State inspired extremist went on a stabbing spree in the Melbourne CBD. I happened to be a couple of blocks away. The phone popped up a message telling me to avoid that area of the city.
It seems quite bizarre to me when people insist on believing their apps or whatever is on their device screens instead of their own senses. Makes me wonder if they've developed a sense of reality based on 2-D instead of the physical world.
Aren't magazine prices listed on the covers? Free magazine just say FREE! They are over here, so they should be everywhere. (Just like everyone should drive on the right side of the road and not have roundabouts and eat pizzas and tacos and cheeseburgers everyday!
)
Yes. As it's been mild there's been no condensation on the windows lately, but the window in the one room I had some laundry drying in was covered in it yesterday morning. Just shows how much moisture comes off it.
...however if you crack a window at each end of said solarium, all is well.
On Sunday when I went down at 4am-ish to find the window covered, I did exactly that. Opened it on 'lock' that few centimetres it allows you to and it cleared it after a while. Really I should have left it open all night but didn't want to risk it safety-wise.
Oh great, I'm on another list!
Exactly. Or you can just sit in your car and read for a while.
Maagazine prices are on the cover, but they are printed in very small print and can be damn near impossible to find (as I have found when having to manually input prices). Free magazines don't usually have FREE on the cover, because you want everyone to assume that you paid good money for it.It seems quite bizarre to me when people insist on believing their apps or whatever is on their device screens instead of their own senses.

Not in the middle of winter, when it's ten degrees out -
Maybe she always gets it for free because she uses her "5 finger discount".
She'd only get 2 fingers.
Ummmm. @gordonrutter don't look, but with no prejudice, I would like to change my user name.
I'm sure you'll be consigned to the naughty stair in the near future. Please try and behave. We miss you when you've gone awol.
Oo! Oo! This inspired a truly American idea! Drive thru laundry service!
