We heard it -just, because we were out of doors! On top of West Hill
Portishead, its FAR too faint to be of any use. Its impossible to hear
it indoors. It was NOT and "Alert" followed after a while by an "All
Clear"! It was TWO "All Clears", someone obviously doesn't know the
difference, because there wasn't any!

It actually sounded as though they were using the proper air-raid
sirens, by the way the sound died slowly in pitch and volume at the end.
But its still far too faint to be of use.

Anyway, whats the point if you are hard-of-hearing, or even worse, stone
deaf? You wake up dead?

No.
You write it in your diary the week before, because they'll have
announced it in advance on here.

But if its a REAL emergency, we won't get any warning in advance!!!

So, as I said, we wake up dead!

Big deal - typical waste of money. :(

Perhaps by some bizarre coincidence you are picking up a reflected wave
which is 180 degrees out of sync from the original giving rise to a
noise cancellation effect.......

I agree it is virtually impossible to hear when inside with the windows
shut and perhaps the T.V. on or something though.
