Ooh-err Missus!! :-)

I shouldnt complain as I received £3.00 for a survey last week and it put me up the leader board and now Hazel is on top of me, OOooHazel.

The one I completed was from researchcentral.qualtrics.com and took me 40 minutes but I got paid.

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Probably the same one I had. I didn’t bother reporting it, but it may be a regular practice with a certain company. Trouble is, I can’t remember whose survey it was now.

Should get the £1 that was offered. admin@pickmypostcode.com

Email admin, explain all this and they will look into it and you may well get the full bonus of at least the 5p. Have done this on occasions myself and been awarded my dues.

Sat in Royal Albert Hall, concert about to begin (Marvin Gaye Prom) when loud alarm went off, just as conductor making his entrance (ruined it for him!) Thought it was RAH alarm at first, then everyone realised it was their phone. I received the message, but only felt phone vibrate as I had put it on mute. Received the message twice more coming home, once on tube and once on train, other people's phones frequently sounding the alarm.

Great concert BTW, look out for it on BBC if it's your thing.

My first one was in Welsh, which I am not fluent in so asked my grandson to translate. He had just finished when the English version popped up 😁

Does the emergency warning also override when your mobile's on silent / sleep mode - when callers can't usually get an answer (unobtainable) or it doesn't ring?

I assume it works on all smart mobiles, but only those currently within specific selected transmitters areas.

For what reasons would they send out an alert? Tsunami, Wildfire, Nuke, Volcano, Earthquake, ...??

I could smell the lingering wood smoke still drifting slowly round our whole estate at 3am from someone's balcony BBQ (not allowed).

First day with only faint sniff of fire since Sunday. Was over in Yarmouth last week and despite their fire by the Needles, there was a great stack of double sized disposable BBQs being sold in the town. Tesco in the mainland don't stock them in New Milton due to fire risk. Despite the wild fire in the new forest still smouldering the fire service have had to put out three fires from these BBQs and one from a camp fire.

Am delighted that alerts were sent although suspect idiots will still idiot.

Meanwhile fire appliances and staff from as far as Lyme Regis, Burnham and London are backing up locals.

My first thought was 'Stop the noise' in doing so the alert message disappeared so I wouldn't have known what it was if Husband hadn't also received it and told me.

Yes it was loud. Disposable bbq's banned instore and o/line. So went on amazon and guess what???...

Just after the alert, my daughter became aware of a nearby fire and the village suffered a power cut.

I got it too and, seeing ‘government emergency warning’ or whatever, my first thought was NUCLEAR ATTACK!!! PUTIN’S PUSHED THE BUTTON! It was quite a relief in a way to see an advisory warning rather than ‘take cover’ following.

Not that I’m paranoid, you understand. 👻😱

How many ended up in hospital after suffering heart attacks from this?

@help me - it was the government emergency alert, nationwide, about the risk of starting wildfires. I got it - my husband didn't. Personally we're grateful that the gov have finally started taking this seriously and are warning people. We live close to moorland and it's been scary thinking what might happen if somebody's careless with a cig or barbecue. Good to see the gov finally taking notice of the dire situation the UK is now in.

Errr, what are you people talking about?

Me too. First one since the test, I think.

Bejaisus in this case in interchangeable with 💩

I didn't get it!

Update ... just did! See what you mean 🤯

Me too!!
