Are we all going to die?

[IAmADescendantOfSweepTheSqueakyLegend]

First we get that alarm, now Tesco is closed tomorrow. It's the end, isn't it?

Not sure about everyone but the three outage is affecting its subsidiaries and some people are reporting they can't call 999. That is rather worrying especially for those on the storm red zone. It's been down for over 8 hours now.

I'm usually pretty sanguine about these things but I'm feeling slightly anxious this evening and very frustrated.

How did they do that? What did it sound like? I'm intrigued.

@Myspinebrokefromcarryingus I'm in central Scotland and we got
The alarm too.

The answer to your question is a resounding yes... the chances of it being tonight/tomorrow are considerably less particularly if you live in a storm hit area- don't make stupid journeys to tesco and you'll be fine.

The only thing that’s guaranteed in life is death and taxes. So yeah. Probably not tomorrow though. Mind you it’s nearly the 31st of January so if you’re self employed you might feel like you’re about to die when you see your tax bill for the year.

Yup in Scotland our phones all BLARED an alarm warning LOUDLY and when you read what the message said, it was about the red weather warning we have here. Scary stuff lol!! X

Yeah not everyone got that alarm though...!

Emergency government alert. When they did it for Wales it went off as I was aquaplaning on the M4 in the dark.

I didn’t appreciate that. It’s repeated load alarm buzzing, horrible noise.

I've seen social media posts saying that people screamed when all the alarms went off in restaurants and supermarkets
Apparently thought it was Putin. I didn't hear mine, it was downstairs 🤷

FFS. Is this life now?? Everything is weaponised now, even the bastard weather which has ALWAYS been crap in this country. It's winter and yes, sometimes storms and bad things happen. They always have. Check historic records. I wish people would take no notice of this bollocks and just get on with their lives and stop acting like meerkats, bobbing about looking for the next thing to panic about. I think some people just enjoy the drama tbh.

Tesco is open - I’ve just been there 😂

There’s no point in advising folk in the red alert area to stay home then telling Tesco staff to risk their safety by travelling to work to sit in an empty shop. Tesco deliveries are also cancelled tomorrow.Schools are closed in Scotland and Ireland and public transport cancelled . If the forecast is accurate it’s going to be a rough day.

I'm in Scotland and i got the alarm at around 5.50pm

We had the alarm in December and then a few hours of rain.......mid winter
Was such an anticlimax
You will survive this op

There was a tornado down the road from me earlier and roofs got blown off houses (Cornwall). I am feeling a little uneasy and we aren’t even in the red zone, so I feel for the people who are.

OP will be talking about tomorrow when the red warning for wind is active

They have sent an email advising they are closing and re opening once the red warning has been lifted

🙄 Of course we're all going to die. Everyone and everything that lives, dies.

We are not all dying this week though! CHILL!

If Tesco is shut then we’re all finished because obviously we can’t go a day without it.

Our schools and buses and trains and leisure centres/libraries, etc are all cancelled tomorrow. Haven't heard about supermarkets being affected though

Is Tesco being closed a sign of the Apocalypse? Does it come under famine?

Yes. Of course we are. Weird question ⁉️ edited as I have now read further posts and seems to be a weather event. I shall have a Google

Papaya is the soapy tasting one, isn't it? I suppose it's popularity could only go up...

We had a power cut just long enough for me to swear loudly, then all the lights came back on.

No 3 is down. The others are ok
