and that's the answer, leave it on and if it becomes a distraction turn it off.

Well what a horrible noise that was at 2pm, about 10 of us in a corridor outside the Operating Theatres and I could hear phones going off through the Theatres doors.
I bet patients in the wards were scared out of their wits.

Yes, if yours didn't go off, you need to report to your local council to ensure you are correctly registered. You can be fined if you don't.

My 2g phone didn't emit a single peep. Should I upgrade or judge by the reactions of people around me. :D

To be fair though, if we do get a warning about incoming nukes, there's little that can be done unless you live far away from a large city or strategic area... And then we have the nuclear winter to look forward to! :D

What a delightful thought for Monday morning! :cry:
