To be a bit excited about the 3pm alarm?

I'm interested to hear what it sounds like. For it to be going off all over the country at once, in all households and shops is exciting.

It's something completely new and feels kinda like something from Black mirror.

Maybe I'm just weird 😂

15.01, four phones only two went off..so guess two of us are expendable

Unprecedentedusername · 23/04/2023 15:02

One minute early on my phone and one minute late on work phone

LBF2020 · 23/04/2023 15:02

Neither mine or DH's went off. I could hear our neighbours phones though at 2.59pm.. weird.

I tell you what wankers everywhere , some people ,yes other people not just you , will and can react to alerts in different ways . It may be unexpected and could trigger a quick fright or someone who suffers with severe anxiety may panic for longer. I think that comment is very selfish , clearly you must be resilient

Unexpected? Everyone has had advanced warning!

Fuck me, how do people get through the day if a pre-arranged phone alert sends them into a panic??

Fucking hell. Blitz spirit indeed.

Mine hasn’t come through yet 😔

Plasmodesmata · 23/04/2023 15:03

Mine didn't go off. I got the message pop up but no noise. My phone was on "do not disturb" but I thought it would over-ride that.

Forever42 · 23/04/2023 15:03

3 phones in our house - none of them got the alarm.

Passelevin · 23/04/2023 15:03

Nothing here

HalloweenGhost · 23/04/2023 15:03

I've not had it. My phone is british but I'm currently abroad.

I am in a public place. Everyone's went off. Quite a nice joint moment for us all.

MichaelAndEagle · 23/04/2023 15:03

I'm in a cafe, and they went off from about 14.58 for some people. Mine was at 15.01
Some people got the voice too.

mrsjg · 23/04/2023 15:03

3 of us here - only husbands gone off!

hilbil21 · 23/04/2023 15:03

I was ready for it. It didn't go off lol.

Myotherusernameisshy · 23/04/2023 15:03

4 phones in this house and none have gone off!

tigger1001 · 23/04/2023 15:03

"Oh actually it just happened now at 15.01. Obviously took longer to get to Scotland!"

Mine was a minute early - also in Scotland. But my eldest didn't get it until 15.02. Queued

Darthwazette · 23/04/2023 15:03

Mine hasn’t worked. Even checked my settings to make sure I hadn’t turned it off by accident. Clearly the government wants me to die in any potential future disaster.

FadedRed · 23/04/2023 15:03

Nothing here, on mine or DH’s - we are obviously not worth saving! 😂🤣

BringItBackBruno · 23/04/2023 15:03

2 went off, mine didn't. I feel oddly left out

countrygirl99 · 23/04/2023 15:03

A minute eary here. My work phone got it a few seconds before my personal phone. Nothing on DHs phone.

DustyLee123 · 23/04/2023 15:03

Ours went off.

SwapTheYforaD · 23/04/2023 15:03

At 15:03 should I expect to get it at all? I don't want it to catch me off guard

LadyAstor · 23/04/2023 15:03

Jesus! Just jumped out of my skin!

I slid it up the screen to shut it up so didnt get chance to read it. What did it say?

HaggisFace · 23/04/2023 15:03

DD and DHs went off but I'm just being left to figure it out it seems 😂
