...because Britain needs Lerts LOL.
Seriously, this afternoon the government trialed the new national alert system, rather like the systems other countries have used for a number of years to warn of serious risk to life etc.
This was designed to simultaneously go to every 4G and 5G mobile (cell) phone in the country at 3PM. Meant being the appropriate word. Some received the message early, others late, whilst some not at all. Whoops! One of our major network operators has already announced an investigation will be launched.
Time will tell if the government are content with the outcome today. Hopefully it will not be necessary to use this system for anything other than a test.
