Where were you today when the national emergency alert system pinged on your phone?

[Westfacing]

I was on the Tube heading towards King's Cross.

Fellow passengers were impressed that it worked deep underground!

I was on a plane, flying back to the UK at the time so missed all the excitement!

At the cinema. No signal.

Asleep in bed because I hadn't slept last night and was up early for church 😴

Are they the ones in the Budweiser Christmas ad? I love them.

On the March Against Antisemitism in London. Walking along Regents Street, specifically.

I thought I was the only person that had a pipe phobia, water pipes, gas pipes, no idea why 😂

It’s very debilitating!!

At our sons new house painting the walls

Me neither, nor my partner!

Sitting on the sofa trying to feed my newborn. 1 year old got the fright of his life and my 6yo was frantically waving mine and DH's phone in the air shouting someone's phoning I think it's an emergency! Cats took a nose dive for the cat flap.

Mine was late, and I didn't get the second one, so clearly, I'm not worth saving either! Mind you, it was agreed that our manager would tell us to ignore the siren and carry on while running for shelter himself.

We delayed milking the cows by a few minutes (so ate cake instead), because they do not like anything that's different (even me wearing a different hat is off-putting, apparently, so goodbye, Fair Isle bobble hat), and a siren would probably upset them!

Standing in the lounge with my DH, looking at our phones, waiting for the Emergency Alert.

It's been pissing down all day, so there's been nowt to do. Not much open either, so we've just been in watching TV, playing video games, and playing board games!

In the car, I nearly crashed! Completely forgot it was coming

The local leisure centre. There was a Masters/Seniors swimming gala on. Some people commented on how well the gala was organised: the alarm went off just after a race had finished. Then some phones went off a few minutes later.

I was at home listening to a podcast. Alan Davis said “small boats” and the alarm went off. I thought Farage had staged a coup.

In a local pub with neighbours for lunch.

Changing a nappy 🤣

Out of the country. But I have these alerts permanently disabled on my phone - who on earth would want the Government messing with their day with this nanny state nonsense?

Driving with DP, it gave us both a scare initially as we thought it was some kind of warning alarm on the fairly new camper van
my phone went off about 30 seconds after DP’s.

Having an afternoon nap so I’d purposely turned my phone off.

In a shop changing room with no trousers on! Had to fish my phone out of my jeans on the pile to turn it off!

At a food festival next to our local beach.

Having a desperately needed nap. I was not impressed. (My own fault I know).

In the swimming pool with phone in a locker, so I don’t know what it sounded like 🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh yeah it really messed with my day, honestly it went off and I’ve no way of recovering from it until at least Tuesday!
