It's been mentioned on the BBC for a few weeks now. Even my Mother, a woman that doesn't use the internet, has known about it for a while. Do you not have any friends or something, were they not talking about it?

You must have been living in a cave to have not heard this mentioned somewhere over the last few weeks...
It never fails to amuse me, just how utterly incompetent large companies are.
How can you not get something as potentially important as a government mandated emergency alert system right?
Makes me rarely believe in bonkers conspiracy theories, because life experience teaches you that most would be utterly impossible to keep under wraps due to how utterly stupid and incompetent most people are.

That could be said about anything government related

It won't be places like that, that get hit it'll be the places where there are loads of non important people who have no want for war.

On the positive side of not getting the alert earlier, it means I might not have to suffer a well timed test alert such as...

This is what annoys me in Wales, I'm Welsh, born and raised here but I wish the government would stop with this everything has to be in Welsh crap. They want to save money and here is my answer, stop duplicating everything in Welsh, they could save a fortune on road signs by literally cutting them in half so they are faster to read at a glance and a fortune saved on metal, and paper usage could be cut in half. If I receive a 5 page letter I don't need another 5 sodding pages in Welsh.

I got it on time, I'm on 3 too - only problem was I thought I was having a stroke until I realised that the voice was attempting to speak Welsh (it wasn't pretty)

On giffgaff and live in the country and get very patching signal and didn't get it. My girlfriend is on O2 and she has the same lack of signal and got it. Odd.

if we were to die, i would least like to know how this is going to happen. at least if the government could get this right.
A simple 'death by firestorm' or 'death by hoards of zombies' would at least mean that the government would have done something right before the end comes
