On 23 April

They should do it at 3am.

And then every 15 minutes for the next 6 hours.

So various government ministers can sit/stand behind flags when talking about it.

This is a UK thing isn't it? And ministers are unionists.

So, not an England thing, or a Georgia thing.

They can have lots of flags behind them.

Btw haven't you noticed that the Tories love standing/sitting in front of the Union flag? Labour under Starmer quickly followed them.

Its quite common for Politicians to stand in front of the flag. In the US there are flags everywhere in even the most enlightened companies. Here its just a picture of the queen in most Government places.

Why on St Georges day?

Why on my Uncle's birthday?

Why on World Table Tennis Day?

Why on National Talk Like Shakespeare Day?

[WTFH]

Why on National Talk Like Shakespeare Day?

That is the question.

Will this alert only affect smart phones? Just wondering what, if anything, I can expect to receive on my 20-year old Nokia.

I wonder if they'll exclude mobile broadband devices.

I believe that it's phones connected to the UK mobile networks. Last I checked that's all types of phone.

If you've got a mobile dongle I can't see how that would make a noise as they don't have speakers? The SIM card they contain may receive an alert text.
