I have had two warnings, one in English and the other in Welsh!  English came through at 14.59, Welsh about 15.03

Yep, went off at 3.

Still, for the life of me, cant get why so many were making a fuss about it. Too much time on other social media i suspect, together with a general opposition to anything coming from HMG.

Get over it.

Seriously a load of moaning and fuss over nothing, folk need to get a life.

I am actually disappointed that mine didn't go off.

Still not got mine despite having mobile data and emergency alerts switched on. Pretty clunky rollout by the sounds of things.

Just had mine, somewhat loud!

Me too!!

14:59 for me too. Also my brother and mum got it at the same time.

Its all 'fun and games' until these tests become commonplace every month as in the States, or erronous messages are sent by clueless techs at 3am on a work-day.

Yep. Seems like the equivalent of taking the batteries out of the smoke alarm because it may wake you up when it goes off.
