One minute early but why was it an American voice?

I didn't hear a voice.  phones were making a loud noise and vibrating with a notice on the front screen.  My watch was buzzing too. 

B####r!  I forgot all about my watch.  It should have done something as it is connected to the one 'phone that worked.

They will have to do the test again.

My phone did not go off as all alerts turned off, I hope my 4g modem is ok as I was a little late turning it off at 14.59 - OH's phone had already gone off because wouldn't listen to me

Totally as expected - a big non-event for everyone except the tin-foil hat wearers.

Time for the conspiracy theorists and doomsayers to move on to the next one.

I was really looking forward to it too.

At least we had the Starship test earlier this week- now that was exciting watching the engines fail one by one until it went unstable and they had to self destruct.

Because that's what your phone is set to?...Mine was a rather nice lady from the Home Counties (Possibly)...
